RC Makati Brings Home the Pinnacle Award

Rotary Year 2024–2025 was truly a magical one—not only for the countless beneficiaries we served, but also for RC Makati and IPP Keith Harrison. The year was capped with the club bringing home the Pinnacle Award, the highest recognition given during the 2025 District Awards Gala held on September 28, 2025, at the Solaire Grand Ballroom.

It was a night to remember for IPP Keith, who walked up and down the stage several times as the club received honor after honor. Beyond the Pinnacle Award, RC Makati was recognized with the Exemplar Club Award with six stars—the highest distinction the district can bestow on a club.

The celebration did not stop there. The Rotary Club of Makati also earned the Best of the Best recognition in three major categories: Membership Attraction, Public Image and Service.

On top of these, the club was also recognized for achieving the highest overall contributions to TRF for the last Rotary year. (please see complete list of awards below).

IPP Keith was joined that evening by RC Makati members and leaders who celebrated the victories with him: DS Louie Aseoche, PGD Pepz Bengzon, Chito Cantada, Pres. Eddie Galvez, Yaron & Grace Hahami, DG Reggie Nolido, PDG Tony Quila, Nicky Ramos, Rodrigo & Marie Segura, Sonny Tambunting Jr. with his daughter, Derrick Tan, and of course, Ann Rachel Harrison.

It is also worth noting that our daughter club, RC Premier District, proudly received the Pinnacle Award for Large Club, alongside RC Makati.

Truly, it was another banner year for RC Makati—a year recognized by the district for outstanding service, leadership, and commitment. And this success will only inspire the club to soar even higher in the years ahead.
