Welcome to Wisconsin Rapids
Sunrise Rotary Club!

Rotary is a world fellowship of business and professional persons who accept the ideal of service, individually and collectively, as a basis for success and happiness in business and community life. Our Wisconsin Rapids Sunrise Rotary club isare proud to be part of this organization that is united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards (click to learn about the 4-Way Test) in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 35,000 Rotary clubs.

The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.

Although our Rotary clubs develop their own service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. In the 1980s, Rotary launched the world’s first global polio immunization program, Polio Plus, in 1985.  Rotary has contributed more than $1.6 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than 2.5 billion children worldwide.  Polio cases have plummeted by more than 99.9 percent from 350,000 cases in 1988 to 27 in 2016.

The mission of Rotary International is to support its member clubs in fulfilling the object of Rotary by:

• Fostering unity among member clubs;
• Strengthening and expanding Rotary around the world;
• Communicating worldwide the work of Rotary; and
• Providing a system of international administration.
