Teacher of the Month
Our club is dedicated to honoring the importance of education. Each month, we proudly recognize an exceptional teacher from every school within the Benicia Unified District. Each award recipient receives a beautiful certificate of recognition, along with $100 to enhance their classroom experience and an additional $100 in Benicia Downtown Dollars for personal enjoyment. We believe in celebrating the hard work and dedication of our educators!
Annual Golf Tournament
The Rotary Club of Benicia sponsors an annual golf tournament. This year, the golf tournament is Friday, September 25, 2026 at Blue Rock Golf Course in Vallejo, CA. This is our largest fundraiser where we generate money to support education in Benicia, local sports teams, and other local and national projects. Stay tuned for more details.
BHS Golf
Support of Local
Sports' Teams
Our Annual Golf Tournament is our club's greatest annual fundraiser. As part of the manpower needed to support the actual day of the event, both the BHS Soccer and BHS Golf Teams helped our club members with the logistics of such a tournament. Some of the money we raised at the tournament was presented to those sports teams for their use through their athletic season. Thank you, BHS Soccer and BHS Golf, for your help this past September 2025.
