Have you ever asked yourself how your club could be part of a global project that creates real, measurable impact?
Have you dreamed of seeing your club recognized for its role in a Rotary Global Grant?
Do you want to make a transformational difference right here in our own backyard?
That time is now.
The need is urgent.
The mission is clear.
We are calling on every club and every Rotarian to join the largest Global Grant ever written to support the Greater Houston Metro – Harris County area:
Global Grant GG2579105: "Stop Human Trafficking. Clean Up Our Streets"
This isn’t happening halfway around the world — it’s happening in our streets, our neighborhoods, our city.
This grant will fund real solutions, early intervention, prevention, and support for survivors. But it won’t happen without you.
We need to raise $100,000 from clubs in our district. If each club gives $2,000, we’ll meet that goal.
Can’t give that much? Even $500 will help us get there. Some clubs have already pledged above and beyond — now we need your support.
But this is more than just a call for dollars.
This is a call for hands, hearts, and voices.
Rotarians will have the chance to serve directly:
-
Help sort donations and assemble “Go Bags” for trafficking victims.
-
Train and partner with local professionals from Unbound Now to reach youth in juvenile centers.
-
Invite our District Anti-Trafficking Task Force Chair, Deborah Brinen, to speak at your club and share how you can take action.
-
Stay engaged all year long as we roll out hands-on service opportunities across the district.
This is what Rotary was made for. This is our moment to rise, to lead, and to change lives.
Talk with your board. Talk with your club. Decide to act.
Let us know how your club will support this Global Grant — with dollars, with service, with heart.
Questions? Reach out anytime to either Deborah Brinen (djubrinen@gmail.com), the Anti-Trafficking Task Force Chair, or Stan Galanski (Stan.galanski.jr@gmail.com), the Grant Writer. Most importantly — don’t sit this one out.
Let’s show the world what it looks like when Rotary shows up — together.
