Welcome

Welcome to the Four Peaks Rotary website.

Four Peaks Rotary was chartered in 1997 by individuals who felt that Rotary’s motto “Service Above Self” was more than just a saying. These dedicated and energetic people built the foundation for what was to become a Rotary Club that fulfilled all that is “Service Above Self” and did it having fun!

Four Peaks Rotary has accomplished some very lofty goals; there have been contributions to Rotary International Projects such as:

• Polio Plus – our passionate project of eradicating polio from the world
• Gates Foundation $100 million dollar challenge – Bill and Melinda Gates join our cause in fighting polio
• Philippines Water Purification Projects – building wells in towns where previously water came from rivers
• Hermosillo Orphanage – helping fund Casa de Esperanza, a special orphanage in Hermosillo Mexico

Four Peaks Rotary members were also part of numerous rebuilding efforts for Hurricane Katrina victims. On a local basis Four Peaks Rotary has had a significant hand in how we serve the local Fountain Hills community by helping in the funding of:

• the Rotary Splash Park
• Junior Achievement - helping serve the youth of Fountain Hills
• Numerous scholarships given to Fountain Hills High School seniors in academic and community service
• Teach for America
• Extended Hands Food Bank – Fountain Hills food bank
• Teacher of the Month 

The upcoming year will continue to see Four Peaks Rotary give to Rotary international projects as well as local youth services. A new program for this year is the Fountain Hills Fire Explorers.  These students have dedicated themselves to learning about Emergency Services and continuing their education to eventually become first responders in our community.

Four Peaks Rotary is always looking for people who are willing to go the extra mile and understand that “Service Above Self” is more than a saying. If you feel that you have what it takes and are willing to have fun while giving of yourself then contact us about getting more information about becoming a “Four Peaker”!
