Rotary Raises Over $3,700 for The Salvation Army

Crown Reclaimed!
Andover Rotary Rings Back to #1!

The 2025 results are in, and we’ve taken back the throne!

After seven years as the Lawrence Salvation Army’s top single-day non-profit fundraiser, we lost the crown to Free Christian Church last year (they pulled a sneaky holiday ninja move). This year? We crushed it with over $3,700 collected on December 23!

That’s right — Andover Rotary is back on top where we belong. (No hard feelings, Free Christian… much. 😉)

The bigger win: the Salvation Army smashed its $100K Red Kettle goal, raising $105K total. Every bell ring and generous donation helped families in need — thank you to our incredible members, families, and passersby who made it happen!

To our friendly rivals: great job keeping us on our toes. But this year, the crown returns to Andover Rotary. Game on for next December!

Service Above Self — and above the competition. Here’s to more giving and an epic 2026!
