An unfortunate setback has hit a local service organization mere weeks ahead of its major fundraiser.
The Kalamalka Rotary Club鈥檚 Facebook page was recently hacked and replaced with inappropriate content.
The social media site is a key communication channel for promoting the 40th annual Dream Auction and engaging supporters, putting the event鈥檚 success at risk.
The Nov. 16 auction, a cornerstone fundraising event, supports numerous charitable projects both locally and internationally, including scholarships, youth programs, and vital global initiatives. The upcoming 40th anniversary of the Dream Auction is one of the most significant events in the club's history, with proceeds set to benefit even more causes than ever before.
Despite efforts to contact Facebook and Meta, the club has yet to receive a meaningful response, leaving the page in its current state with limited options for immediate resolution.
Rotary is asking the community, friends, and supporters to help amplify their voice by reporting the compromised page to Facebook and spreading the word about the Dream Auction through other channels. Community members can report the hacked page by visiting Facebook鈥檚 Help Center.
Kalamalka Rotary remains committed to ensuring this year鈥檚 Dream Auction is a success and asks the public to stay connected via its website at .
鈥淲e hope the community will come together to help us achieve success at this year鈥檚 event,鈥� said Wood.
