Who We Are:

Lee's Summit Sunrise Rotary was chartered on March 26, 1999, has 30 members and has become the 'Little Club that Could' through our outreach to and impact on our community. Sunrise is strongly committed to the ideals of Rotary as depicted in our club vision statement: To Be A Vibrant Service Club That Is Engaged In The Community At Home And Abroad.

Sunrise Rotary has a reputation for local and international service.

Local Service:

Our Feed Lee's Summit (formerly Empty Bowls) has generated more than $275,000 over 15 years, to assist local agencies who provide support to the food insecure.

Our Fly a Flag program raises $14,000 annually and funds various projects in the Lee's Summit community.

Sunrise raised over $100,000 to construct a Legacy Park playground for children with special needs.

Through the Adopt-a-Street program, the club takes responsibility for periodically cleaning up trash and debris on 3rd Street between Pryor Road and Forest Park Blvd.

International Service:

It has hosted multiple international delegations from Russia, France, Chile, Australia and the Dominican Republic, expanding our understanding of and appreciation for global medical, construction, education and legal systems. The club has also participated in school literacy programs for children in Central America and has built eight water purification plants at schools in Central Thailand.

FEED LEE'S SUMMIT

Feed Lee's Summit 2020, sponsored by Lee's Summit Medical Center, raised over $30,000 as a virtual event on November 12, 2020! It was an hour of dazzling entertainment with soulful blues, jammin' jazz, inspiring video presentations from local celebrities, silent auction/premium raffle items and endless opportunities to support FOUR wonderful nonprofits that truly work each day to FEED Lee's Summit: Coldwater of Lee's Summit, Lee's Summit Social Services, Meals on Wheels of Lee's Summit, MO and One Good Meal.

Feed Lee's Summit has raised $70,000 over it's two year history- back to its origins as Empty Bowls, it has been able to give more than a quarter-million dollars to our nonprofit food providers in Lee's Summit! Our thanks to the Lee's Summit community for your generous support!!

Save the Date: Thursday, November 18, 2021.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

FLY A FLAG PROGRAM

Sunrise Rotary's Fly A Flag program offers Lee's Summit a unique service in that for four holidays each year you can have a beautiful 3 ft x 5 ft American Flag placed in front of your home or business. Already over 240 Lee's Summit businesses and residencies fly the flag thru this program. The cost is $50 per year but the benefits stretch much farther. Your flag subscription revenue is directed right back into our community. Just some of the benefactors of the Fly A Flag program are Hope House, Hillcrest Transitional Housing, scholarships for local high school students and more. It is truly remarkable how easy it is for you to make an impact thru this program.
