The GEAR Awards is an annual national event that recognizes the exemplary performance of Rotaracts Clubs and Districts in the Philippines. Most known as the most prestigious Rotaract recognition-giving body in the country, the GEAR Awards is most certainly a highly anticipated event and has become part of the goal of every Rotaract club from across the nation.
Held at the iconic The Heritage Hotel in Pasay City last May 1, 2022, The GEAR Awards 2022 was hosted by District 3810 in an elegant black-gold-white themed event—such elegant colors that match the exemplary Rotaract clubs present in the ballroom.
