Our Story
Statement of Charitable Intent Guidelines
Heart of the Ozarks Sertoma exists because a caring community can do more together than any one person can do alone.
The Heart of the Ozarks Sertoma Club, Inc. (HOTO) is a volunteer service organization that promotes the values of SERTOMA (SERvice TO MAnkind) by providing an opportunity for HOTO members to improve the quality of life and opportunities of less fortunate youth of our community through the development and administration of successful fundraising projects and related activities to fund and support charitable programs for such youth in the Springfield and surrounding geographic area.
HOTO primarily supports the Boys and Girls Clubs of Springfield.
Other charitable youth programs meeting HOTO standards may also be considered.
We are proud to serve Springfield and the surrounding Ozarks with compassion, purpose, and a belief in the power of neighbors helping neighbors.
