The Rotary Club of Lancaster invites fellow Rotarians to be part of one of our most impactful (and fun) annual events—Wheels & Wings Festival & 5K, taking place on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at Lancaster Airport. This year, the need is especially urgent. Due to a significant budget shortfall, the School District of Lancaster is canceling summer enrichment programs. For many students, these programs provide critical opportunities for continued learning, mentorship, and engagement.

For nearly two decades, our Club has partnered with United Way of Lancaster County to support Summer Youth Experience programs, helping local nonprofits fill that gap. Wheels & Wings is a key driver of that effort.  We invite you to:

  • Join us as a runner, walker, car show participant, or attendee
  • Spread the word within your club and community
  • Consider organizing a group to attend or participate together
  • And of course we're always looking for more sponsors and volunteers!

 Thank you in advance for helping us extend the impact of our annual major fundraiser!

  •  Fly-in and active airport setting
  • Car show with nearly 20 award categories
  • Chip-timed 5K on a fast, scenic course
  • Food trucks, music, and family-friendly activities
