We're rolling out the RED CARPET for this year's Rotary Classic and YOU'RE INVITED!
Our event will adhere to the current Covid-19 mandates and guidelines set forth by the CDC and Cook County.
We are excited to welcome you to our first in person Classic in two years!
Looking back to March 2020, we never anticipated bringing you TWO virtual Classics, but we did the best we could to make each virtual event very special for all our Rotarians, guests and friends.
All of our “pent up” creativity has brought us back to our roots, with a formal, Hollywood Awards Style Classic. You're invited to join us LIVE on the red carpet for this year's Rotary Classic as we celebrate Rotarians of the Year! Our Classic will highlight the dedicated Rotarians who exhibit "Service Above Self" in their daily activities and demonstrate the strength of their commitment to Rotary in the service they render to their club, their community and people throughout the world through the Rotary Foundation. They meet professional standards and ethics as exemplified in the "Four Way Test."
This Club over the last year has met the demands and challenges that the pandemic has brought to the communities we serve. We have not forgotten the other needs of our Community Partners, continuing to provide help and support to them during these trying times. We know that our friends and our families have been affected and lives changed forever.
This is a time that we will continue to be stronger than ever to meet the additional demands of our ever-changing communities. It is because of ALL our Rotarians and outside donors that we are able to strive to meet these demands.
The Rotary Club of Schaumburg / Hoffman Estates is proud to present the 43rd Annual Rotary Classic, Live and in person on March 12, 2022 at the Schaumburg Marriott. Event is Black Tie Optional!
We are pleased to announce that NBC Chicago's Natalie Martinez will be joining us as our Emcee this year! Natalie is an award-winning journalist who is very active in community events and charitable work. She worked with the Club for the Virtual Classic in 2021 and we are happy to have her back, in-person! Learn more about Natalie here!
