The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill will host its annual fundraiser on Friday, March 22 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Belhaven, located at 1000 Belfast River Road in Richmond Hill. The event supports the Jay D. Gardner and Mary Bean scholarships which are open to high school seniors at Richmond Hill High School.  Since the club was founded 28 years ago, the Rotary Club of Richmond Hill has awarded students over $120,000 to further their education.

“Rotary is all about community and we are reaching out to everybody in Bryan County and asking them to get involved and join us for a fabulous evening at Belhaven.  We have many wonderful silent auction items and raffle prizes and appreciate all the support we have received to date.  We still have some sponsorship opportunities and tickets available so please plan a fun night out at Belhaven and support a good cause,” said Doris Purser, Rotary Club President.

Tickets for the oyster roast cost $125 each or just $175 per couple and include all you can eat oysters and buffet, raffle, live music and silent auction. Sponsorships ranging from $500 to $2,500 are also available for local businesses and individuals. To purchase tickets or for more information, contact Doris Purser at richmondhillrotary@gmail.com
