McMinnville Raising Stars Gala

Invest in the Future of Our Community

The McMinnville Raising Stars Gala brings together several local organizations that are investing in the next generation, including Rotary Interact, Rotary Youth Exchange, RYLA, Scouting America Troop 266, and the Traveling Light Foundation.

Together, we are raising funds to provide the supplies, experiences, opportunities, and resources these programs need to help local youth grow into the confident, compassionate leaders we know they can be.
