Win $1,000
The top percentage in each size division wins $1,000 for its club foundation.
The Bring Your Club Incentive Program rewards clubs for bringing their members to the 2027 District Conference in Walla Walla. Every club competes within its own size division — Small (1–25 members), Medium (26–50), or Large (51+) — and the club with the highest share of its July 1 roster registered wins a $1,000 award for its 501(c)(3) registered club foundation. Race standings are updated regularly, and registration closes March 15, 2027.
This page is your club's command center for the race: downloadable promotional materials — a printable club flyer and a club meeting presentation — an AI-powered tool that writes ready-to-share social posts and emails for your club, and a "Make the Trip to Walla Walla" section where you can tell us what would make it easier for your club to attend. Scroll down to explore the resources and share your ideas.
Presidents, rally your club and make the race a part of every meeting announcement. Members, sign up today and challenge your fellow Rotarians to join you in Walla Walla. Don't let your club get left behind — the first club in each division to reach the winning zone takes the $1,000, and one registration can change everything.
Standings update automatically as paid registrations come in — checked every minute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who counts toward my club's percentage?+
Every member from your club registered for the conference counts, and registered spouses and guests count toward your club's total too. Members aged 23–35 count double, and each sponsored Interactor adds a bonus point.
How is the percentage calculated?+
Your club's registrations are divided by its July 1 roster size. Clubs compete only against others in their size division — Small (1–25), Medium (26–50), or Large (51+).
Does signing up my club for the race register anyone for the conference?+
No. The race sign-up enters your club in the competition. Each attendee still needs to register for the conference individually.
Should our club name someone to lead the push to the conference?+
Yes. Clubs that name one person — a club lead or conference champion — get to Walla Walla more reliably than clubs that leave it to everyone. That person puts the dates on the calendar, brings the standings to meetings, answers questions, and follows up with members who haven't registered yet.
When is the deadline?+
Register your club for the race by March 15, 2027.
How often are the standings updated?+
Paid RegFox registrations update the standings automatically. An open page checks for updates every minute, and reopening the page shows the latest figures.
What does the winning club receive?+
The top club in each division wins $1,000 for its 501(c)(3) registered club foundation.
Who do I contact with questions?+
Email info@igniterotary.org and the Ignite '27 team will help.
