THE ROTARY CLUB OF CUYAHOGA FALLS TURNS 100!
Founded in 1925 and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Kent, the Rotary Club of Cuyahoga Falls has served the community for a century with a strong commitment to “Service Above Self.” Despite early challenges during the Great Depression, the club persisted and became known for its support of children with disabilities, youth programs, and community development. Over the decades, it has launched initiatives like the Rotary Scholars Night, youth exchanges, Thanksgiving meals to local families, and the Pathways family support program. The club has also contributed to international efforts like PolioPlus and continues to engage in hands-on local service projects and fundraising events.
The Club stands out through a unique blend of tradition and innovation. As we celebrate 100 years of service, we remain deeply committed to making a lasting impact in our community. We foster a welcoming, inclusive environment where members of all backgrounds can grow as leaders. Our forward-thinking approach embraces new technologies and fresh ideas, while our strong partnerships with local organizations amplify our reach. With a legacy of meaningful service and a focus on future growth, we’re not just honoring our past — we’re actively shaping the next century of Rotary.
Club President, Taylor Fronk shared “as we celebrate 100 years of service, the Rotary Club of Cuyahoga Falls reflects a legacy built on compassion, leadership, and community impact. From our founding in 1925 to our ongoing support for youth, families, and inclusive initiatives like playground communication boards, we’ve remained true to Rotary’s motto: Service Above Self. Our Centennial Celebration honors this journey while looking ahead to a vibrant future. With deep local roots, innovative projects, and a welcoming spirit, our club continues to be a driving force for good—committed to making a difference for generations to come”.
A CENTURY OF SERVICE
The Club’s Centennial Celebration on November 16th (Doors open 5pm) marks 100 years of service, leadership, and community impact. This milestone event will honor our rich legacy while spotlighting the future of Rotary. Guests will enjoy an evening of dinner, dancing, fellowship, storytelling, and recognition of the individuals and projects that shaped our club’s journey. With special presentations, local partnerships, and a spirit of gratitude, the celebration will reflect our enduring commitment to service above self. It’s more than a party—it’s a tribute to a century of making a difference and a launchpad for the next hundred years of impact.
CLUB PROJECTS
The Club has had the opportunity to participate in several service projects over the years. This includes, but is not limited to providing thanksgiving dinner to local families, maintaining the Adopt a Spot in front of the Cuyahoga Falls Library, and various initiatives with Refuge Host Homes.
FUNDRAISING
All fundraising efforts are being done through the campaign link for the celebration. Donations and sponsors can be obtained by clicking here. All proceeds from this event will go to funding more communication boards to put in different parks and local hubs throughout the community.
President Fronk added, “our club is small. We are very focused on our service project and planning of the centennial celebration. We’ve lost much of what we used to be known for, and we are hoping this new service project will help us gain traction in the community while also fulfilling our members”.
