The money was raised by the club’s 51 members at events such as their Annual Pancake Breakfast, Raffles, and Citrus Sales. Due to the success of these events in 2017 Jenkintown Rotary was able to increase the grants by $2,000. Club President John Washington, Grant Committee Chair John DiBenedetto and Committee Member Chris Heaven presented the checks to representatives of 17 local organizations.
