MEDINA – The Medina Rotary’s recent fundraiser will result in one or two Medina High School seniors receiving financial aid to further their education.

According to event chair Cindy Hewitt, the meat raffle held April 25 at Ridgeway Fire Hall was a success and will support the Medina Rotary Scholarship Fund. Approximately 100 people attended the raffle for fun and giving back, as well as the opportunity to win meat.

The event was hosted in partnership with Western New York Meat Raffles, with meat prizes sourced from the Market in the Square in Tonawanda.

The fund provides scholarships to students planning to enter college or a trade school.

Students still have time to apply for a scholarship this school year. The deadline in June 1, and applications can be completed online by logging on to https://www.medinarotary.org/medina-rotary-scholarship/, then clicking on “Medina Rotary Scholarship” and “Application.”

“The Medina Rotary Club extends its sincere thanks to its event sponsors and to the entire community for their continued support of Rotary fundraisers,” Hewitt said.

The next Rotary fundraiser will be their annual “Ribs and Ribs BBQ” on May 16 at Medina Lanes, drive-thru only. Tickets are available at Main Liquor, Art Hill Excavating or from any Medina Rotarian.

The next meat raffle has been scheduled for March 6, 2027.
