| The Preston Center Rotary Club is committed to providing ongoing support monetarily and with “hands-on” efforts to make our community a better place. We are deeply involved with many local ministries, charities and volunteer outreach organizations. |
| |
| Our Rotary club hosts one of the oldest and most prestigious charity golf tournaments in Dallas. The Westapher Golf Charity was founded over 40 years ago by Father C. V. Westapher (1923-2004) during a casual round of golf. Inspired by his legacy and generosity, we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for many local charities |
| |
| PCRC supports Voice of Hope, a West Dallas Christian based family ministry with after school programs, summer camps and life skills training. We founded an indoor Grand Prix style go cart race which is one of the primary fund raising events for VOH. Our support over the years includes neighborhood cleanup, yard light installation, work and school tutoring, reading to children, home improvement and event coordination and participation. |
| |
| A seven location early childhood development organization with emphasis on teaching English and literacy skills. |

|
|
| |
| A therapeutic and rehabilitative horseback riding center near Lake Ray Hubbard in Wylie, Texas for adults and children with physical, mental, emotional and learning disabilities. |
| |
| We support the Ronald McDonald House, a temporary home for out of town families with loved ones in ongoing hospital care. We volunteer at The Trains at Northpark, an award winning model train display created by one of our PCRC members which raises money for the Ronald McDonald House. |
| |
| An international organization committed to helping those in need with basic life necessities. PCRC volunteers at the annual Angel Tree campaign, where local shoppers donate purchased Christmas gifts for needy families. We also enjoy the sounds of the Salvation Army band during the holidays and “pass the basket” for a Christmas collection as a gift to the Salvation Army. |
| |
| An amazing nationally recognized “no-charge” hospital specializing in orthopedic and neurological conditions for Texas children. PCRC members volunteer by packing popcorn tins which sell during the holidays to raise money for the hospital. |
| |
| One of the nation’s largest food pantries helping hungry individuals and families around the region. We lend financial assistance and volunteer support by packing and loading food supplies for distribution. |
| |
| One of the only full service recovery and rehabilitation centers in the area that provides food, housing and training to not only women, but to their children as well. |
| |
| Our club hosts a blood drive twice a year in support of community patients in our community hospitals. This includes over 220 hospitals and medical facilities in the North Central Texas area. Rex Blakely with Armstrong Relocation is the Blood Drive Chair. |
