During a special visit to the Encinitas Coastal Rotary Club, District Governor Luis Carranza helped celebrate the presentation of donation checks to three deserving local nonprofits — all made possible by proceeds from the club’s 2025 Golf Ball Drop Fundraiser.
This year’s fundraiser supported:
- Just in Time for Foster Youth, represented by Director of Philanthropy Rajah Gainey
- Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, represented by Founder Sandy Lehmkuhler
- Boys & Girls Club of Northwest San Diego – Griset Ranch, represented by Club Manager Chris Ann Rosillo
The club was proud to distribute the funds in person with DG Carranza on hand, marking a meaningful moment of community connection and shared service.
