After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Rotary Club of Charlotte began a scholarship fund for the children of those who protect and serve. The Charlotte Rotary 9-11 Scholarship Fund provides 4-year college scholarships to the children of Charlotte-Mecklenburg First Responders. Since 2002, over 90 multi-year college scholarships totaling more than $1 million have been awarded. With your donation to this fund, you will help the people who save lives and protect us daily.
