Keeping Kids Warm Since 2011 ❄️🧥

Posted on Oct 29, 2026

A warm coat can make all the difference during a Midwest winter.

Thanks to the generosity of our community and everyone who supported our fundraising efforts, students from low-income families served by Brightpoint's Marletta Darnall Child & Family Center in Schaumburg received more than 100 brand-new, high-quality winter coats to help them stay warm, comfortable, and ready to learn and succeed.

The Darnall Child & Family Center provides essential support and services to these families through early childhood education, family services, child welfare, and mental health programs.

Global Grant Scholar Araha Uday, and club president-elect Dawn Block

Schaumburg AM Rotary is pleased to announce that a Rotary Foundation Global Grant Scholarship has been awarded to Araha Uday, a Schaumburg High School alumna and 2026 Stanford University graduate, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Economics and a minor in Mathematics.

Our club proudly sponsored Uday for this prestigious award, which supports graduate students pursuing Master’s or PhD programs abroad in fields aligned with Rotary International’s seven areas of focus: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, improving maternal and child health, supporting education, growing local economies, and protecting the environment.

Global Grant Scholarships may fund one to four academic years, covering tuition, living expenses, books, and travel.

She will continue her academic journey at the University of Cambridge, where she will pursue a one‑year Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree in Economics.
