The La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club meets weekly on Thursdays at 6:58 AM at the La Jolla Shores Hotel, offering members a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean during their gatherings. Over the years, the club has been actively involved in various community service projects. Notably, since 2009, the club—through a partnership with the Paula and Oliver Jones Family Foundation—has awarded over $120,000 in scholarships to more than 120 graduates of the San Pasqual Academy, a residential education campus for foster youth.

Another significant initiative is the annual “Walk for the Trail” fundraiser, supporting the maintenance and repair of the historic Coast Walk Trail in La Jolla. Additionally, the club hosts the “Litchfield Memorial Swim,” honoring the legacy of Bob Litchfield and promoting community engagement through this cherished event.

A cornerstone of the club's international outreach is the Gift of Life program, championed by long-time member Estelle Ebert. Through this initiative, the club has facilitated life-saving heart surgeries for children from underserved regions, including Romania. In collaboration with Gift of Life International and other Rotary partners, the club supported a global grant that funded surgeries and training to establish a sustainable pediatric cardiac program at Grigore Alexandrescu Hospital in Bucharest. Estelle Ebert served as the primary international contact for this project, reflecting her deep commitment to global humanitarian service.

The La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club continues to embody the Rotary International motto of "Service Above Self," fostering fellowship among members while making meaningful contributions to both local and international communities.
