Greetings President Kurt and members of Winchester Rotary,
Congratulations on achieving ShelterBox HERO recognition for Rotary Year 2022-2023.
2022 was our biggest year yet and your support helped us to reach over 400,000 people across 22 projects in 12 countries. This year is shaping up to be just as busy and your continued support is truly appreciated.
Attached is your digital award to use on your club website and please share this recognition on your club and district social media outlets. At the end of the Rotary Year your club will be listed on our HERO page www.shelterboxusa.org/hero.
Gifts from clubs, individuals identifying as club members, or anyone recognizing your club all count toward ShelterBox HERO club recognition. A Bronze HERO recognition level is achieved at $1,000, Silver at $3,000 and Gold at $5,000 in total giving within the Rotary year. A club can ‘level up’ throughout the Rotary year. If this award is the result of an individual’s gift, you can thank them by matching with a club donation and doubling their impact.

We need help in your district! Is there a Rotarian in your club looking to serve? Please have them consider becoming a ShelterBox Club Champion or Ambassador. Volunteer with ShelterBox USA
