July 11, 2026 - This morning, members of the Rotary and Rotaract Clubs of Peachtree City were proud to volunteer at Camp Southern Ground's 4th Annual Ruck & BBQ Bash. From welcoming participants at registration and serving as course marshals to assisting in the vendor and culinary areas—and, of course, keeping spirits high with our enthusiastic cheering (thank you, Kathy! 🎉)—our members were honored to play a small part in making this incredible event a success. The Ruck & BBQ Bash brings veterans, families, and our community together to celebrate America's 250th anniversary while supporting Camp Southern Ground's Warrior Programs, helping veterans thrive long after their service. Thank you to every Rotary and Rotaract volunteer who gave their time this morning. Together, we continue to live Rotary's motto of Service Above Self while supporting organizations that #CreateLastingImpact in our community.
