About Hunt Valley Rotary
You've probably heard a lot about Rotary, but do you really know what we are all about? We're not really a 'club', but we're an active, non-political, non-religious, service organization with over 1.2 million members worldwide. We're not really a charity either, but The Rotary Foundation is one of the largest volunteer-run charitable foundations in the world. In fact, in 2007, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gave TRF over $100 million dollars for our global efforts in fighting polio and other diseases, ending hunger, supporting education, and promoting goodwill.

Each year, over 1,000 students from local elementary, middle, and high schools participate in the contest to demonstrate the values of living by the Four-Way Test.
