We're thrilled to welcome you to an unforgettable evening inspired by the atmosphere of a race track and the excitement of horse racing. The theme, "The High Desert Derby", creates an exciting and entertaining setting for a community celebration with virtual horse races, live and silent auctions, great cuisine provided by Bleu Bite Catering  and plenty of opportunity for fun and laughter - all supporting the projects of the Sunriver-La Pine Rotary club that are helping families, children and our community at large.

​

Chartered on October 4, 1994, the Rotary Club of Sunriver-La Pine is dedicated to service to youths, seniors and low-income people in the local communities, in the workplace and around the globe. Community members and business leaders are invited to join a Rotary Fellowship to network with others who are part of a global network of professionals seeking world peace and understanding. As community volunteers, Rotarians reach out, build, support and organize to better local and global communities.
