Donate
We are proud to announce that this year's proceeds will support two amazing causes!
All proceeds from this event will go to the Frankenmuth Rotary Helping Hands Fund and, new this year, Sleep in Heavenly Peace Saginaw.
The Helping Hands Committee was established as a part of the Frankenmuth Rotary Club in 2017 to help struggling and disadvantaged individuals and families in the local area. Your donations have made a huge impact — from replacing water heaters, paying overdue medical bills, helping abused women and children resettle, and replacing hearing aids for elderly people who are making decisions to eat rather than hear because they cannot afford both, and many others. To date we have given more than $90,000 in assistance.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace Saginaw is a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring no child sleeps on the floor. Since launching in early 2026, the Saginaw chapter has already built and delivered over 800 beds to children in our community who previously had nowhere to sleep. Every dollar makes a difference for these kids.
