Adrian Richardson is a bootcamp instructor, personal trainer, and life coach based in Oakland, California. He believes fitness is important for physical and mental well-being, as well as for longevity and improved quality of life. First introduced to strength training during three tours of duty in Iraq serving in the United States military, Adrian discovered that physical and mental health are critical elements to a successful mission. Through his own training, he developed a passion for helping others and started working with his fellow soldiers, coaching them to pass their physical fitness requirements on deployment. Watching his peers achieve their own success and reach their personal fitness goals with his help, Adrian was inspired to do more. When his last tour ended, Adrian decided to make fitness and coaching his life’s work.

Join in the fun, get to know Rotary Club members as you serve, and experience some of our community's western heritage watching real cowboys "at work and play"; all while we raise money for great causes.

The Hayward Rotary Scholar awards recognize students who demonstrate extraordinary skill and achievement in school. The award is bestowed upon Hayward students who achieve perfect scores on their standardized tests, perfect attendance, and perfect citizenship at school for a full year.

This past October, Hayward Rotarians gave every Hayward third grade student - over 2,000 in all - the tools they need to grow their literacy skills for a lifetime. We are celebrating our 17th year of the Children's Literacy Project. Here's a look at the results.
