By focusing on membership consisting of a mix of younger professionals in our community and established leaders in business and service, Seville Rotary set out to reshape the perception of Rotary. Using the “Object of Rotary” and the “Four Way Test” of Rotarians as a guide, Seville Rotary founded the Annual Steak Cook-Off and numerous other fundraisers and community service events that are fun and beneficial to all in our community.
Since our founding, we have donated tens of thousands of dollars to local community groups and schools and spent countless hours volunteering with a variety of organizations. It is through these efforts and donations that Seville Rotary makes our community a better place to live, play, work, and grow. Some of the organizations which have benefited from Seville Rotary include Manna Food Pantries, The USO, Ronald McDonald House, West Pensacola Elementary, First Tee, Junior Achievement, Boys and Girls Club, Ready Kids, Capstone, Autism Pensacola, Children's Home Society, United Way, Keep Pensacola Beautiful, Ray of Hope Wheelchair Ramps, and Gulf Coast Kid’s House.
The District Grant program allows our club to take on a signature project every year that is funded through Rotary International’s foundation program. Each year, our club partners with an organization in the Pensacola community to achieve specific project goals. In recent years, Seville Rotary has partnered with Ray of Hope Wheelchair Ramps to construct wheelchair ramps for residents in need throughout our community; Debug Mobility for the purchase of four beach wheelchairs that were donated to nursing and elderly care facilities in Pensacola; Gulf Coast Kids House to update their online Safe Kids Zone training videos; and this year we are working with Huts 4 Our Friends to construct tiny houses for the Pensacola homeless community.
Our membership reflects the diversity of our community, with representatives from local businesses, non-profit organizations, entrepreneurs, and educators. Our diverse membership has positioned our club to work tirelessly to have a lasting, meaningful impact on our community.
Welcome to Rotary

Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Seville Rotary is dedicated to advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty both locally and internationally.
The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.
As a Rotarian, I will:
The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignity of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life.
The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
I've been a member of Seville Rotary for over a year now, and I must say that it has been a truly enriching experience. The sense of community and the dedication to service are unparalleled. The diverse range of networking opportunities has allowed me to connect with professionals from various fields, leading to valuable connections and collaborations.
Each week I attend the weekly Rotary meeting and hear about the good deeds of my Rotary Club and other Rotary Clubs are doing locally and globally and I leave inspired. Each week I am met by friendly faces, welcoming conversations, and networking, and I am inspired and honored to be a part of this organization.
As a member of Seville Rotary, I have had the opportunity to participate in thought-provoking discussions and events that have broadened my perspective on pressing societal issues. The emphasis on ethical business practices and social responsibility resonates deeply with me, and I am proud to be associated with an organization that is dedicated to making a positive impact.
Joining Seville Rotary has been one of the best decisions I've made for my career. The wealth of knowledge and experience within the network is truly invaluable. I have received guidance and support that has helped me navigate professional challenges and achieve my goals. It's more than just a networking group; it's a community of passionate individuals striving to make a difference.
