Sweet Success: Rotary’s Annual Cookie Auction Raises $740 for Local KidsThe Rotary Club of Le Roy’s Annual Cookie Auction filled the air with holiday cheer—and the irresistible scent of baked goods—on December 5th. Members and guests gathered for this festive tradition, bidding generously on an array of homemade cookies, cakes, and treats, all in the spirit of giving.
This year’s auction was more than a sweet celebration. Together, participants raised over $740 to support Le Roy Jr./Sr. High School’s Knight’s Closet, a place where needy students in the Le Roy School District may obtain essential clothing, personal care products, and school supplies.
“Every bid makes a difference,” said one Rotarian. “It’s amazing what our community can do when we mix a little holiday fun with a lot of heart.”
The friendly competition brought laughter, smiles, and even a few spirited bidding wars, as trays of baked goods became symbols of generosity and community spirit. The Rotary Club extends a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who baked, bid, and contributed to another successful event.
Santa made an appearance to visit Gianna. With each cookie sold, the Rotary Club of Le Roy continues its tradition of “Service Above Self,” reminding us all that the sweetest part of the season is giving back.
