WORCESTER — The Rotary Club of Worcester is pleased to announce that the Celebrate Community Gala, aimed at helping to prevent opioid addiction, will be held from 5 to 11 p.m. June 4 at the DCU Center, 50 Foster St. The event will feature dinner, a cash bar, silent and live auctions, live music and dancing, and the club’s annual Service Above Self awards.

Tickets for the fundraiser gala are $100 per person, and can be purchased by visiting www.worcrotaryusa.org.

Sponsorships are also available. For sponsorship information, call Barbara Guthrie at (978) 464-2929.

Service above self is the motto of Rotary. To that end, the Worcester Rotary Club has undertaken many projects to serve the local community, including the Myra Hiatt Kraft footbridge project in Elm Park, HD cameras for the NIC Unit at UMass Memorial Medical Center, planting trees on Shrewsbury Street, and sponsoring an electronic library at Seven Hills Charter Public School.

In addition to providing funds toward opioid prevention efforts, proceeds from the gala will go toward support for education, hunger, health and beautification projects, including feeding hungry children at the Kids Café at the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester, providing winter coats for disadvantaged children, offering scholarships to students at three Worcester colleges, participating in African Community Education’s food program, and Red Cross disaster relief.
