Wilmington Central Rotary at the Miracle Fields
On Saturday, October 4th. The Wilmington Central Rotary spent the morning playing with athletes from ACCESS of Wilmington.
Miracles of Rotary Lock-Up
You don’t have to be locked up to make a difference.
On October 31, Wilmington leaders will spend time behind bars at Strickland’s to raise funds that change lives – but you can help right now.
Your donation will help give:
Freedom to a Veteran – A motorized scooter for a Vietnam-era Army veteran who lost his leg and wants to regain his independence.
Sound to a Teen – New hearing aids for a local teenage girl who has relied on secondhand ones her family couldn’t afford.
You don’t need handcuffs or a jail cell to be part of the miracle – just heart.
Stuff the Bus – Support Communities In Schools
In August, the Wilmington Central Rotary Club is teaming up with Communities In Schools for our annual Stuff the Bus drive. We’re collecting new school supplies to help local students start the year with confidence and the tools they need to succeed.
You can donate supplies by giving them directly to any Rotarian. Backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, and other essentials are all welcome. Your support makes a real difference. Join us in helping students thrive—let’s stuff the bus together!
July’s Fill the Purses project was a wonderful success.
Thanks to all of you who contributed purses and items to add to them.
Especially:
First National Bank, Bo Dean and the team at NHC offices, Strickland’s Home, Bon Air Daydreams, Salt Air Heating, Cooling & Electrical, United Community Bank
Due to your collections and donations, we were able to distribute over 300 purses to:
The Carousel Center, Domestic Violence Center, First Fruit Ministries, Good Shepherd House, Christian Recovery House, Wilmington Recovery House, Operation Pretty Things
Wilmington Central Rotary Presents A Check to Support The Scholarship
Honoring Mason Thompson’s Legacy
On July 8, 2025, Wilmington Central Rotary presented a check to Jason Thompson for the “I Don’t Know Yet” Scholarship, established in honor of his son, Mason N. Thompson, who tragically lost his life at the age of 20 in a workplace accident.
The scholarship supports hardworking students at Cape Fear Community College who, like Mason, are committed to learning, persistence, personal growth, and making meaningful contributions, even as they continue to explore and shape their future paths.
