The
Orland Park Rotary Club is active in
the community. Its members are
involved in more community
activities probably than any other
community service group. On of
the key community programs is the
Rotary Scholarship Program.
Funded through the annual raffle, it
raises over $40,000 for college
scholarships for local area senior
high-school students.
In addition, the Club in the past 4
years sponsored a Golf Marathon for
Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn.
That event raised raises over
$22,000 for that cause. The
Club also works the weekly Bingo
charity game in Orland Park. In
addition, the Club distributes about
$10,000 for other community groups
and causes. In 2005, the
Rotary Centennial Year, the Orland
Park Rotary Club sponsored the
rebuilding of the Animal Barn at the
Children's Farm at The Center in
Palos Park to view pictures of the
