The Alliance Rotary Club has three major fundraisers annually.  They include the Labor Day 10k Race, the Vegas Night and the Fly the Flag Project.  

Labor Day 10k Race

The Alliance Rotary Castle Run began in 2006.  It consists of both a 10k run and a 1 mile run.  The races take place on a USAT certified course through the city of Alliance and finishes at historic Glamorgan Castle.  Most of the participants consider it a moderately challenging but beautiful course.  In 2007 there were a total of 275 participants.  The majority of participants were runners but there were also several walkers who are more than welcome.  Race fees for 2008 will be $20.00 in advance or $25.00 on the day of the race with all of the proceeds going to the various projects Rotary does in the community.

Vegas Night

The Vegas Night began in May of 1995.  It is held on a Saturday evening annually in the spring.  It is held in the evening and last approximately five hours.

This year the 10th Annual Alliance Rotary Club Vegas Night will held in May, 2008 at the Alliance Senior Citizens Center. Tickets for the event are $6.00 which cover your food, pop or other beverage (beer is 10 cents per cup).

Fly the Flag Project

The Fly the Flag Project began in May of 2003.   It is a service in which Alliance citizens can have flags flown at their residence during the Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Veteran's Day holidays.  Currently more that 1300 flags are flown by subscribers on each holiday.  The Alliance Rotary Club is assisted by area Scouts and other organizations in placing and removing flags during those holidays.
