Ben Vagher presents a Paul Harris award to William Sheridan
It was an honor to present a Paul Harris Three Ruby Pin and Certification to William Sheridan for his financial contribution to Rotary International. Our club has been very fortunate to have had several of our Rotarians making such a commitment. We congratulate and thank you William for your contribution and your continued support of the Rotary Foundation and Broomfield Rotary.
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.
