When a Rotary Club President takes office he/she nominates one or more charities that he/she particularly wants to support during his/her term of office. The Club will then - in addition to its normal fund raising activities - raise the sum that the President has committed to donate to that charity or charities.
The President will always ensure that the committed sum is reasonable and does not detract from the demands normally placed upon the Club's charity funds by deserving causes during the year.
