Brandon Rotary
“Service Above Self” was more than just a motto — it was a mission in action as members of the Rotary Club of Brandon fired up the grill to serve 5,000 hot dogs to attendees at this year’s Backpack Heroes Event, held at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds.
For the second consecutive year, the Brandon Rotarians lent their support to this impactful initiative, which distributed thousands of backpacks to students preparing for the new school year. Their presence added warmth and hospitality to an already generous event.
Joining forces, the Rotary Club of FishHawk-Riverview contributed by donating all the buns and condiments, ensuring every hot dog was served with a side of community care.
Join in on Tuesdays from 12 Noon-1 p.m. at the Rivard-Simmons Rotary Event Center, located at 3007 S. Kings Ave. in Brandon. For more information, contact Debbie Meegan at debbiemeeganrotary@gmail.com.
