Support Our Community Projects

Since 1964, the Rotary Club of Signal Hill has stood beside our community in moments of need—turning compassion into action and service into lasting impact. For more than six decades, our members have dedicated their time and hearts to causes that uplift, protect, and empower those who need it most.

Our signature event, the Signal Hill Rotary Mutt Run, reflects that spirit of care and connection. More than a race, it is a lifeline for sheltered animals in Long Beach. Seventy percent of all proceeds from the 5K/1K directly support Long Beach Animal Care Services, helping provide food, medical care, and safe shelter. On race day, the finish line becomes a place of hope, where families meet and adopt animals who are waiting for a second chance at life.

We also believe deeply in investing in our youth. Our RYLA leadership training program empowers high school students and transforms them into future leaders. Through our partnership with the Assistance League of Long Beach, our members volunteer with the CAMEO mentoring program for high school students and support Operation School Bell—helping children walk into school feeling prepared, confident, and seen.

We know these are difficult times. For many families, the challenges are overwhelming and relentless. Your generosity allows us to continue showing up—with open hands and open hearts—for the most vulnerable members of our community. Together, we can offer hope where it is needed most and remind our neighbors that they are not alone.
