ABOUT
WINGS OF CHANGE
PURPOSE & HISTORY.
"Service Above Self" isn't just our motto; it's the guiding principle that drives Rotarians to make a difference.
The Wings of Change (formerly Flight) celebration and auction, championed by the Rotary Club of Colorado Springs, embodies this spirit through the transformative power of art.
Since 2008, hundreds of curated butterfly and dragonfly sculptures have been created by local artists and auctioned at our annual celebration to bidders throughout the United States.
This treasured tradition continues! Through the generosity of our sponsors, bidders, and those who attend our celebration, we have generated funds to support a myriad of projects.
The net revenue from Wings of Change benefits Colorado Springs' schools and international and local service projects.
Examples include:
-
Support for science, technology, and the arts in area schools
-
Individual post-high school scholarships for deserving students in our community
-
Individual recognition and awards for high school teachers
-
Dental care for children in need
-
Support for international projects of Rotary Clubs in Ghana, Uganda, Nicaragua, Italy, and Ethiopia
