Every year the Rotary Club of Milton joins forces with the Rotary Clubs of Kitchener, Burlington North, Mississauga Meadowvale, Mississauga West and Oakville Trafalgar to host an online auction. This years auction is live from November 2-16, 2019. This is the perfect opportunity to pick up some Christmas gifts while giving back directly to your community. The funds raised go directly back into the programs our Rotary club supports.
This is our biggest fundraiser. With all of your help, we are able to provide exchange student opportunities, over $5,000 in scholarships and bursaries, support Kids against Hunger, Pack-a-bag, and numerous other community groups.
We aren't able to do this without your support. In the coming weeks our members will be going around to business in the community looking for donations or sponsors for this event. We would love to have your support.
If you would like any more information, or want to find out more, reach out to us.

Guests are always welcome to our meetings. Come out and learn about Rotary, network and connect with new contacts.
