Each fall, the Club sponsors a raffle with the winner receiving two tickets to the Florida-Georgia football game, plus hotel accommodations and spending money. The club raises more than $7000 each year through this exciting program. The funds are presented each spring to area agencies that the club selects for recognition for their efforts in preventing child abuse.

Exchangites also raise funds for the Children’s Home Society by serving as bartenders for the agency’s annual “Puttin’ on the Rlitz” fund-raiser. Through the generous tips of the hundreds of area patrons of this event, the club is able to present a sizeable check to the Children’s Home Society in a special presentation program.
