Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament
Empowering the Next Generation Through Education
For over 20 years, the Harlingen Sunburst Rotary Club has proudly hosted our Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament, dedicated to supporting the academic dreams of high school seniors in our community. This event is our largest fundraiser, with all proceeds going directly toward scholarships for deserving students. Each year, we are able to award 10-12 scholarships of $1,000 each, helping young people in Harlingen take their first steps toward a brighter future.
Join us for a day of golf, community, and purpose. Your participation not only promises a memorable day on the course but also contributes to the lasting impact we make on our youth.

Annual Liquor Raffle
Fun, Community, and Giving Back
The Harlingen Sunburst Rotary Club’s Liquor Raffle is a fantastic way to support our smaller community sponsorships. Funds raised allow us to contribute to various local nonprofits, ensuring that our impact reaches all corners of our community. Although this is a smaller fundraiser, its impact is significant—helping us say “yes” to more opportunities to support local initiatives.
For only $10 per ticket, you’ll have the chance to win a selection of top-shelf spirits. With two lucky winners, each taking home 10 bottles, the odds of winning something spectacular are even better!
How to Participate
Tickets are available through our club members and at local events. Every ticket purchased helps support our efforts to uplift and empower local organizations that are making a difference.

Annual Wine & Women Golf Tournament
Supporting Women, Strengthening Families
