Tickets for our 2024 From The Heart Gala will be available in Fall 2024

ABOUT THE EVENT
The Rochelle Rotary Club’s annual From the Heart dinner-auction is the organization’s premier fundraising event of the year, bringing corporations, businesses, couples and individuals together to help support important service agencies in the Rochelle area community.
​
Thank you to everyone who came out and helped support our 15th From The Heart Gala event on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023! The gala was held at the Flight Deck Bar and Grille in Rochelle, and Ashley and her crew did another amazing job. Each year, the From The Heart Gala and Auction raises thousands of dollars for eight local non-profit groups that provide valuable family services in and around the Rochelle region.\
​
​We set a goal to raise $80,000 for our 8 local non-profit groups in 2023, and we are thrilled to announce that we have reached that goal. It couldn't have been done without the help of our corporate sponsors, those who purchased a ticket, who bid on an item, who became a sponsor, or donated an item that was raffled off.
​
​
We accept donations year round! Please mail your donation to From The Heart, PO Box 202, Rochelle, IL 61068. For more information, call Dave at 815-562-2220. Tickets for our 2024 From The Heart gala will go on sale in the fall of 2023, and can be purchased through the mail or online. Follow us on Facebook for up to date information!
