The Foundation of the Upper Keys Rotary Club donated $10,000 to the Key Largo Rotary Club to use toward its scholarship awards in 2021.
The donation from Upper Keys Rotary is a part of the more than $80,000 raised during a community-wide scholarship donation appeal held earlier this year to replace the Gigantic Nautical Flea Market fundraiser that was unable to occur due to the pandemic.
âKey Largo Rotary and its members have been in integral part of the success of the Nautical Flea Market for many years and we have enjoyed providing a portion of the event proceeds for their efforts in the past,â said Upper Keys Rotary President Jill Miranda Baker to the Key Largo club when presenting the donation. âYour club, like ours, maintains a focus on awarding scholarships annually and we are glad to contribute to your efforts.â
