On February 24, the RAH Sharks will be ready to invest in cool ideas! The night will shape our club’s signature service project for the year ahead. 🦈 Rotary After Hours Shark Tank 2026 is quickly approaching. On February 24, the RAH Sharks will be circling, listening, and ready to invest in bold ideas that will shape our club’s signature service project for the year ahead.
Shark Tank isn’t just another meeting - it’s one of the most fun, high-energy, can’t-miss nights of the year. It’s where creativity meets community impact. It’s where we decide how the funds raised from the Ugly Sweater 5K turn into meaningful change. What will we bring to life in 2026?
Why You Need to Be There
Even if you’re not pitching, your presence matters. The Sharks (that’s you!) vote with Shark Bucks (pretend money) to determine which project earns up to $10,000 in funding (with matching district grant support). The energy in the room, the questions, the friendly competition all make for a fun night. *Please note the meeting is scheduled to run til 7:30pm to allow for all pitches.
Thinking About Pitching?
Form your crew (or swim solo). Collaboration is encouraged!
Prepare a 7–10 minute pitch. Include project scope/impact, estimated budget and how RAH gets to be hands on involved!
Projects must involve Rotarians, partner with a community organization, avoid operating costs, and align with district grant guidelines.
Winning pitchers receive 200 PHF points; all other pitchers receive 100. But ask any past participant, the real reward is leading something that leaves a lasting mark on our community.
Please text or email Marissa by EOD on Wed, Feb 18th if you plan to pitch a project.
Whether you’re pitching or voting, every RAH Shark needs to be in the Tank on February 24.
Let’s make waves, RAH. 🦈
