Our friends at The Rotary Club of Cincinnati are making a huge effort to 'Save Local' by launching a great promotion to help support local businesses. As part of its annual 'Believe 2 Achieve' fundraising auction and summer party on August 7, The Rotary Club will double donations of gift cards that will be included in the silent auction. For each gift card donated in March, the organization will purchase an identical gift card in the same amount, up to $100, doubling the support for the business and increasing the value of the prizes. The Rotary will provide up to $15,000 in matching funds. For instructions on how to participate and where to send your donated gift card, contact Linda Muth at (513) 421-1080 or by email at [email protected]. You can read more about this program here.
