Our Events and Projects

The Sunset Rotary holds several events throughout the year to help raise funds for various organizations.  A few of our annual events:

Desserts Galore

Dessert Soiree

April 15, 2024

Enjoy multiple desserts to your hearts content.  This is the 'sweetest' fundraiser of the year.  Every year Sunset Rotary selects a different charity to partner with to provide an enjoyable time, while raising funds for good causes.  Last year we raised enough money to purchase a must needed mobile ventilator for Morongo Basin Ambulance.    
 

Festival of Lights

December 9, 2023

Come out on a crisp December evening to enjoy the light parade held every December in conjunction with the Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce..  Santa will be on hand for the kids.  This fun family community event will warm your heart and soul.   

 

Helping Marine Families

Holiday Baskets for Marine Families.

December 16, 2023

 

The 29 Palms Marine Base is the pride of the Morongo Basin.  Many of are Marine families are separated from their loved ones while on duty overseas.  Sunset Rotary plays a small part in helping these families have a brighter Christmas.  Hams, mashed potatoes, assorted veggies, fruits, and of course a desert are distributed to families through the help of the Armed Services YMCA just before the Christmas Holiday.
