How we support our community.
Benicia Rotarians are INVOLVED in our community -- raising funds for local and international projects, providing local student scholarships, supporting local youth sports programs, promoting school horticultural programs, and recognizing outstanding teachers in our community. We are also involved with other Benicia programs -- helping out and having fun, too. Scroll down to see various events and projects in which our club participates.
Teacher of the Month
We value education. Every year, our club recognizes an outstanding teacher from each of the schools in Benicia Unified School District. Each teacher awarded a nice certificate, $100 for use in his/her classroom, and Benicia Downtown Dollars for personal enjoyment.
Jack Bell Merit Awards


May 2024
Benicia High School
June 2023
Liberty High School
Annually, our club presents this award to deserving graduating seniors. This year, our club selected six students — three from Benicia High School and three from Liberty High School.
Jack Bell, who is an active member of our club here in Benicia, was the founding president of our club in 1966. This annual award is presented in Mr. Bell’s honor for his years of community service above and beyond. Students who apply and are selected for this merit award are presented this award based on qualities such as academic achievement, community service, leadership abilities, or need, and who also plan to attend either a two-year or four-year college.
Besides recognition and a certificate, there is also a $500 cash award to be used by each recipient for whatever they need.

CAPS TITLE

August 9, 2025
This outdoor event began in 1963 with a few collectible and antique stores displaying their items on tables outside St Paul’s Church. It has grown into 300 select antique and collectible dealers from all over the country and the thousands of loyal fans. We now span the entire 11 Blocks of First Street in the historic town of Benicia with beautiful views of the Carquinez Strait. The show offers connoisseurs and new collectors alike an opportunity to examine and purchase items that include period furniture, decorative antiques, vintage textiles and fashion, pottery, porcelain, pink and blue depression glass, paintings, prints, jewelry, clocks, watches, and much, much more. The fair gives the public a rare opportunity to ask questions from knowledgeable dealers and witness firsthand the rare history of our great country.
This event is now over for 2025.
