2025 BENEFICIARIES

Proceeds from Midnight in the Tropics 2024 will benefit the following local charities and the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Foundation: 

North Star Reach

North Star Reach, located in Pinckney, MI, provides life-changing camp experiences for seriously ill children and their families, free of charge. Today, there are more than 75,000 children across Michigan who are unable to attend traditional summer camps due to a serious medical condition, causing them to miss out on formative childhood experiences, extracurricular activities, and even meaningful family time. As Michigan’s only fully accessible, barrier-free, medically supported camp, North Star Reach offers children with serious health challenges a piece of childhood that they might not otherwise experience — campfires and s’mores with new friends, paddling a canoe across the lake, catching fireflies at dusk or shooting a bow and arrow for the first time — the stuff of childhood. Together, with your help and the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Foundation, North Star Reach will host three Family Camps in 2025, making this transformative life experience a reality for more than 300 campers and give the whole family the opportunity to experience the magic that is camp.

Vina Community Dental Center

VINA Community Dental Center, located in Brighton, MI, is a nonprofit dental clinic providing affordable dental care to uninsured, limited-income adults in Livingston County. VINA is using funding from the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club to expand its Senior Smiles program, involving outreach through senior centers, local events, and senior housing, the program will educate seniors on the importance of dental care, the availability of local services, and provide vital services such as fillings, crowns, dentures, partials, oral surgery, and more. An estimated 600 appointments will be offered for approximately 300 seniors, along with essential denture care items like cleansing tablets. This program will restore smiles and improve the overall well-being of our community's seniors.

Thank you for your time and consideration on behalf of the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club and the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Foundation.
