Our RAH Shark Tank 26' made waves! 
Five RAHtarians stepped into the tank to pitch projects on behalf of local nonprofits, all competing for funding from our Ugly Sweater 5K proceeds and a potential Rotary District 6250 matching grant.
With up to $10,000 on the line, each has the opportunity to create lasting impact right here in our community. Which one will earn the most Shark Bucks from the RAH Sharks and emerge as the winning project?
Relocate and renovate a historic corn crib to the Community Trail Farm to serve as an educational, community gathering, and food-support hub. Pitched by Dustin L.
Enhance recreation and STEM opportunities for at-risk youth by installing basketball hoops, adding a 3D printer, and building outdoor picnic spaces. Pitched by Bradley B.
Improve therapeutic, educational, and community engagement experiences for children with complex developmental needs through sensory tools, life-skills resources, and community outings. Pitched by Chelsea S.
Build a new swing set and peaceful outdoor space to provide safety, healing, and normalcy for children staying at the domestic violence shelter. Pitched by Jason J.
Support home repair and construction projects in the Washburn neighborhood to strengthen homeownership and community belonging. Pitched by Stefanie K.
Now itโs decision time and it's not going to be easy! Each RAHtarian has 100 Shark Bucks to invest in the project(s) they believe will make the biggest splash.
Thank you to everyone who supports us, the Ugly Sweater 5K, and our mission to create lasting impact in our community! This is one way how we turn our energy into action. 

Stay tuned to see which project emerges as the winner of RAH Shark Tank 2026.
