Michael Gordon Recognizes Robert Sauer as a Level 2 Donor
The Rotary Club of Broomfield is thrilled to announce that our esteemed member, Robert Sauer and his wife Sylvia Sauer, have made history by becoming the first Paul Harris Level 2 Major Donors in our club. Robert has been a Broomfield Rotary member since 2005 - 18 years, his and Sylvia's contribution of more than $25,000 to the Rotary Foundation is a testament to their unwavering commitment to Rotary’s humanitarian and educational programs worldwide.
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition is named after the founder of Rotary, Paul Harris, who established the organization in 1905 in Chicago. The recognition honors individuals who donate $1,000 or more to the Rotary Foundation, or who have donations made in their name by others. The recognition was established in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to the Foundation, which was then the only program of Rotary.
The Rotary Foundation is one of the largest and most respected charitable organizations in the world. It funds Rotary’s signature program, PolioPlus, which aims to eradicate polio from the planet. It also supports global grants and district grants that address Rotary’s six areas of focus: peace and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development.
Robert and Sylvia’s contribution to the Rotary Foundation is a testament to their unwavering commitment to making a difference in the world. Their generosity will help Rotary continue its mission of creating a better world for all. The Rotary Club of Broomfield is proud to have them as members and congratulates them on this remarkable achievement!
