Suntree Rotary Club presents the 20th Annual Great Tastes at Suntree
Are you ready to enjoy a fun evening of food and music? Join us at the Suntree Rotary Club’s 20th Annual Great Tastes at Suntree fundraiser on October 25, 2025 from 5:30 – 8:30 pm at our new air-conditioned venue – The Oasis at Palm Shores in the Space Coast Association of Realtors building at the corner of Pineda Plaza Way and Wickham Road, Palm Shores.
During the evening you will be treated to delicious culinary samplings from a variety of local restaurants as they prepare their choice of menu items for you to taste - entrees, appetizers and desserts. Some of the restaurants participating so far include Fiesta Azteca, Fresh Market, Grills Riverside, Metro Diner, Urban Prime, Perkins, Shells of Melbourne, and 321-Popcorn. These restaurants compete in contests for best-decorated booth, and best food including the People’s Choice Award – so be sure to stop at each table and vote for your favorite.
In addition to the great food and great live music you can also try your luck with our tremendous gift baskets and 50/50 raffles. There will be a variety of themed gift baskets for you to pick and choose. Purchase raffle tickets and place them in the bucket of whichever basket you want to try to win! The 50/50 raffle is where the winning ticket holder gets half the money in the pot.

This FUNdraising event will help raise money for two local programs: The Boys & Girls Club of Temple Terrace and Neighbor Up Brevard.
The Boys & Girls Club has 40 Clubs in six counties and serves the children who need us the most. The clubs are located in neighborhoods that, on average, rank at the 12th percentile for household income and the 71st percentile for incarceration rates. Club families pay either nothing or a nominal fee for their children to attend. By providing our Club members with academic support, extracurricular opportunities, and positive adult role models, we aim to break the cycle of poverty for future generations.
The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. Last year at our 40 Clubs, we provided a safe and nurturing Club experience every day after school, and all summer long, for more than 12,000 children.
The Suntree Rotary Club specifically supports the Boys & Girls Club, Temple Terrace (off Aurora in Melbourne). Over the years, our Rotary Club distributes school supplies, holds an Easter Egg Hunt, and hosts an end of year Picnic for the families. With the proceeds from last year’s Great Tastes at Suntree, we were able to donate $8,000 to this wonderful organization.
The other organization that will be supported with this year’s event is Neighbor Up Brevard which has been helping to create lasting change in marginalized communities for over 20 years. Their approach to community development emphasizes community ownership, empowerment, and development. Programs include:
The DOCK - a safe haven for school-aged children after school and during the summer break
Greater Heights Apartment Community - affordable rental housing for working families and seniors
Gifts From The Heart Christmas Shop - a dignity-affirming holiday shopping experience for families served by a coalition of local service organizations.
We look forward to seeing you there!
