With just four hours a month, you can change a life. You can also support their Drive for Matches Golf Tournament.
Purple Pinky & Trick or Treat on Mainstreet This Friday Oct 24
Our annual Purple Pinky fundraiser helps support the Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign to provide polio vaccinations and support for individuals inflicted by polio. If you have elementary school students, please send them to school on Friday, October 24 with this permission slip completed and optionally $1 to help support this mission. You can also give to our fundraiser on LosAlamosGives.org.
We will also be giving out candy at Trick or Treat on Main Street this Friday 4-6 PM. We hope you’ll come say hi in your costume!

Make A Difference With Los Alamos Gives
The Rotary Club of Los Alamos invites you to take part in three upcoming fundraisers that make a lasting difference in the world and right here at home.
Through Purple Pinky, we join Rotary International’s global effort to end polio—a disease reduced by 99.9% since 1988. On October 24, we’ll partner with Los Alamos Public Schools to help students learn about vaccines and global health. Just $1 can protect a child for life. Donate at losalamosgives.org/story/Purplepinky.
Join us on November 22 for Meals of Hope, a meal-packing event at Crossroads Bible Church (9 AM – 3 PM). With your help, we aim to raise $8,000 and pack 25,000 meals for Northern New Mexico families through The Food Depot. You can contribute or volunteer at losalamosgives.org/story/Mealsofhope.
You can also multiply your impact by supporting our Global Grant Fund, where each dollar is matched 180% by Rotary International and District 5520. This year, we’re funding medical, clean-water, and education projects that empower communities worldwide. Give today at losalamosgives.org/story/globalgrants.
Together, these fundraisers strengthen communities, improve global health, and give hope to those in need. Whether you donate, volunteer, or spread the word, your support fuels Rotary’s mission of Service Above Self.
Join us every Tuesday at noon at the United Church, 2525 Canyon Rd, or visit rotarylosalamos.org to learn more.
