Welcome

The Rotary Club of Westerville is excited to offer the community a new venue for coming together and celebrating our brave men and women of the military.  

We are proud to announce our annual Rotary Honors Veterans 5K Walk/Run. This is a family oriented 5K Walk/Run for adults and children that will honor our Veterans.

• Mission: The mission of the Rotary Honors Veterans 5K Walk/Run is "To honor, celebrate and recognize those Veterans that have provided the ultimate 'Service Above Self' commitment by serving and giving of themselves to our country."  Each year our race committee will select a different local Veterans organization to be a beneficiary of this event.                                
                                              
• Beneficiary: The Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial has been selected as the 2012 charitable beneficiary. This was founded and established in 2005 by several local veterans who had a vision to build a beautiful tribute to all of the men and women in uniform from Ohio that have made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country in the Global War on Terrorism since September 11th 2001.  For more information please visit: http://www.ohiofallenheroes.org/
