Picture the incredible power of every club in our zone coming together, each taking on a project that ignites their passion, all on the same day! Imagine the energy as we unite, side by side, to make a difference and reveal Rotary’s true impact within our communities.
In 2025, Rotarians, Rotaractors, and community partners from five continents, eight countries, 20 states, 57 districts and 539 clubs joined forces in 613 projects, with 6,557 volunteers serving together. Nine of those clubs were ours – just think how much greater our impact will be if we step up even further in 2026. The possibilities are limitless, and the ripple effect of our service can inspire real, lasting change!
This is your moment. Let’s come together, dream bigger and make 16 May 2026 an Epic Day of Service that echoes across the world. Be a part of something bold. Be a part of something EPIC!
The great thing about the Epic Day of Service is that it can happen wherever you already are. Do a project you’re already doing – just do it on 16 May 2026 and leverage the power of Rotary for global impact.
EPIC Day of Service makes it easy, with online volunteer registration, promotional tool kits, a user-friendly donation platform, donation resources and a roadmap to kickstart planning the EPIC Day in your club or district.

Energise
Clubs choose a project that meets their community’s needs, partner with other clubs, and invite family, friends, and the public to join in. It’s a great way to energise members, reconnecting them with the joy and purpose of Service Above Self.
Build
The EPIC Day’s website makes it easy for the public to sign up. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to re-engage and retain underactive members by asking for ‘all hands on deck’.
Fund
It’s like a charity walk for service. When Rotarians sign up, they get a personal fundraising page and an email to share with friends and family. One club raised $98,000 using this platform. It’s optional, but super easy!

In 2021, Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta challenged Rotarians to create a Day of Service. District Governors Jeff Krause and Joanne Alfieri led clubs in Connecticut and Massachusetts in the first combined event in 2022, which has grown each year. By 2025, the event spanned eight countries, five continents, 20 states, 57 districts, 539 clubs, 6,557 volunteers and 32,785 hands-on volunteer hours.
On 28 January 2026, at 7 pm AEDT (4 pm AWST, 6:30 pm ACDT, 6 pm AEST, 8 pm Fiji, and 9 pm NZDT) an uplifting webinar will be held with the event founders live from the US.
