It’s here again!

Your opportunity to help raise thousands of dollars for the Rotary Foundation, for District 5630, and for your club – plus an opportunity to enjoy the experience of the Big Red Blowout Motor Coach Trip, tailgate party, prime rib dinner, and Nebraska football at Memorial Stadium.

Because of the Big Red Blowout, in the last eight years, the District has raised a total of $329,253.23, an annual average of almost $40,000. 

Of this amount, 50% of the net proceeds goes into the Foundation under ticket sellers’ names; 25% goes to the district, helping keep our district dues down; and 25% goes back to the clubs by percentage of sales. 

Think about what we could do with $120,000 – the amount we would raise if every Rotarian in the district bought or sold just 10 tickets.

The more you sell, the more your club receives back. The more you sell, the closer you come to receiving a Big Red Blowout Prize.
