When disaster strikes, communities often discover their greatest strength in the people who step forward to help. The Pierre-Fort Pierre Rotary Club recently demonstrated that spirit of service by presenting a $10,000 donation to the Highmore Disaster Foundation, administered by the South Dakota Community Foundation.

The contribution will support ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts in Highmore following the devastating storm that caused significant damage throughout the community. Funds will help provide critical resources as residents and businesses work to restore what was lost.

Rotary's commitment to Service Above Self extends beyond club and community boundaries. By partnering with organizations dedicated to disaster recovery, the Pierre-Fort Pierre Rotary Club is helping ensure that those affected have the support they need during a challenging time.

"This donation reflects Rotary's commitment to standing with our neighbors when they need us most," said club representatives. "We are proud to support the Highmore community as they rebuild and recover."

The Pierre-Fort Pierre Rotary Club's generosity is a reminder that through compassion, partnership, and service, Rotarians continue to make a meaningful difference in communities across South Dakota.
