Bradley Sunrise Rotary

It’s rare for an organization to truly be open and accepting of everyone. But that’s exactly what the Bradley Sunrise Rotary is. Established in 1995, the Bradley Sunrise Rotary encompasses exactly what America is, a melting pot of cultures and people coming together to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace. The Rotary Club consists of business professionals and community leaders of different backgrounds and creeds to work together towards a common goal. 

For the past years, Cleveland Ford has been a sponsor of the Sunrise Gala, and we’re back this year for the 2022 Sunrise Gala happening August 13th. This Gala supports a variety of local and international non-profit organizations including the Habitat for Humanity, Men and Women of Action, Keep America Beautiful, and many more. Those attending this year’s Gala will enjoy a terrific dinner while expanding their understanding with Lt. Col. Robert Darling. Lt. Col. Darling is a retired United States Marine Corp veteran who flew attack helicopters for over twenty years including in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He was also selected to fly as a presidential pilot with Marine Helicopter Squadron One and was handpicked to work for the Whtie House Military Office, Airlift Operations Department. He supported Former President Bush and his cabinet in the President’s Emergency Operations Center during 9/11. Along with earning his MBA in Financial Management, serving as Program Manager for the Chief of Naval Operations, and being a public speaker on crisis leadership and decision making, he is also the author of “24 Hours Inside the President’s Bunker, 9/11/01: The White House”. He currently acts as the President and CEO of Turning Point Crisis Management.

Cleveland Ford loves to support any effort towards unity, peace, and understanding, which is exactly what the Bradley Sunrise Rotary represents. This year’s Sunrise Gala will be held at the Museum Center at 5ive Points, and we are very proud to be returning sponsors of the event.
