Kennett Run
Under the leadership of Kennett Rotarian Mike Perna our Club started what has become a popular community event now sponsored not only by two Rotary clubs, but also the Exchange Club, the Lions Club and the YMCA. Funds raised by this event are directed back into the community through the sponsoring organizations and the Kennett Run Charities. For more information visit www.kennettrun.net. We continue to plan, organize, and direct the Kennett Run.

Kennett Area Senior Center
Our Rotary Club, under the leadership of Dr. Leonard Kanofsky, was instrumental in starting what has now become the Kennett Area Senior Center. We still support KASC financially.

Adopt-A-Road
Four times a year we pick up trash on State and Cypress streets, between Scarlett and Mill, keeping our steets litter free.

Financial Grants
This past year we helped and sustained 2 students from the Ivory Coast at Lincoln University.

Student of the Month
Each month in the school year, we recognize a student who demonstrates strong academic achievement and service to their school or community. Students are selected by school staff from Kennett High School, Unionville High School, and Glen Mills School.

Trooper of the Year
Each year we recognize and present an award to a Pennsylvania State Trooper. In 2007 we recognised 3 Trooper of the Year awards.

Interact Club at Kennett High School
We sponsor the Interact Club, a Rotary-related service club for high school aged students. We work together each Christmas to provide a party and gifts for disadvantaged children in our community. 

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
In 2006 we sent one student from a local high school to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Award two-day seminar.

Scholarships
We provide a scholarship to a graduating senior from each of the following: Kennett High School, Unionville High School and Glen Mills School. We also act as sponsors for students applying for Rotary District 7450 Gundaker Undergraduate Scholarships and Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarships.
