Gold Country Rotary Honors Local Students with the Alan Young Bootstrap Award
Auburn Gold Country Rotary is proud to honor eight outstanding students with the Alan Young Bootstrap Award, which recognizes young people who have demonstrated resilience, determination, and perseverance in overcoming significant challenges to complete their high school education.
This year, a total of $16,000 was awarded to students from Placer, Foresthill, Colfax, and Confluence High Schools. Unlike traditional scholarships, students do not apply for this award. Instead, they are nominated by counselors and teachers who have personally witnessed their strength and commitment. From these nominations, eight exceptional students were selected.
These awards were made possible through the success of our 2024 Oktoberfest Fundraiser, and we are deeply grateful for the generous community support that helps us continue this tradition.
Congratulations to this year’s recipients!
Rotary Clubs Unite to Support The Gathering Inn
Through a multi-club grant, Gold Country Rotary, Auburn Rotary, Auburn Sunset Rotary, and Sierra Passport Rotary partnered to fund the purchase of new Step Up Bed systems for The Gathering Inn’s Auburn facility.
These new beds, which replace the old metal bunks, offer residents greater comfort, privacy, and storage; a meaningful upgrade for those experiencing homelessness.
Members from all four clubs joined forces to assemble the beds, demonstrating Rotary’s commitment to hands-on service. In recognition of this effort, Placer County Supervisor Cindy Gustafson presented a plaque honoring the Rotary clubs’ contribution to the community.
