Shrimp Race

5,000 rubber floating shrimp will be dropped into the Beaufort River adjacent to the Waterfront Park. Each shrimp will have a unique number 0001 through 5000. The shrimp will float naturally with the tide toward a finish line marked with two floating buoys.

Smile Mobile

The Smile Mobile became a reality in 2017. Since its auspicious beginning, the clinic has treated over 266 patients and provided dental services worth $132,000. Sources of funding have been provided through the Sea Island Rotary’s annual “Shrimp Race,” held during the Beaufort Shrimp Festival in October, as well as through cash donations from Access Health Lowcountry Grants, Bluffton/Jasper Volunteers in Medicine, Lowcountry Rotary, United Way, Dentistry@ Habersham, and Marshlands II Family Dentistry.

Chipping In & Making a Difference

Since our founding in 1980, the Sea Island Rotary Club has raised over $1M for local charities, funding scholarships, supporting other community services, as well as, contributing to causes led by Rotary International like Polio Plus with the eradication of polio and helping communities gain sustainable access to water, sanitation, and hygiene worldwide.

Randy Wall Scholarship

​​​​​​​Sea Island Rotary’s Education Committee identified three high school seniors (one from Battery Creek High School, one from Beaufort High School, and one from Whale Branch Early College High School) to receive the Randy Wall Memorial Scholarship. Each of these students was awarded a $2,000 scholarship during their Senior Awards assemblies.
