Have Fun while supporting Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign by entering
our Christmas Fun Quiz. Donate £20 (or more if you feel like
supporting with a larger donation) and we’ll email you a copy of the
quiz for every £20. For the same cost as last year, you get 22% more
questions - 100 questions in 9 sections vs. 2021's 82 questions in 8
sections.
Challenge your friends and family - who can get the highest score? Or, even better, get them to make their own donation and receive their own copy of the quiz.
There are NO PRIZES - this is just for your fun and to raise funds for End Polio Now. Answers will be published just before Christmas and emailed to all participants so you can check how well you did, and enjoy Christmas with the satisfaction not only that you have challenged your knowledge and intellect, but you've made a valuable donation to Rotary's End Polio Now Campaign to rid the world of Polio!
Every donation of £20 is invaluable, funding vaccines for up to 160 children against Polio, and if we can claim Gift Aid on your donation this becomes £25, funding vaccines for up to 200 children.
Everyone has a right to avoid the curse of Polio. Help make it come true!
Rotary started the fight against Polio in the Philippines in 1987 when there were over 350,000 cases of Polio a year. In 2022 there have only been twenty-nine (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mozambique) Wild Polio cases. We are so near to ending this disease in the world. Donations from this challenge will help fund Rotary's End Polio Now campaign and bring the elimination of Polio closer by helping pay for vaccinations in the last three countries of the world where Polio remains active 'in the wild'. UNICEF states each vaccination dose costs between US 12c to 19c. Help eliminate Polio AND avoid pre-Christmas boredom.
This could be only the second disease that mankind has eliminated (the first was Smallpox, eradicated in 1977).
Every donation is tripled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Every penny goes to End Polio Now.
Donations on any day are welcome, but donations made via the GlobalGiving website on November 29 generate a bonus!
Instructions on how to donate via GlobalGiving on November 29 are available on the "End Polio Now Instructions page" accessible HERE
The donation website and more information on the project is available at:
If you can, make your donation via GlobalGiving on this special BONUS DAY – November 29
All donations made on November 29, 2022 are eligible for a share of a “prize” fund of $1,200,000 which it allocates to fundraisers according to the donations they receive that day, so please donate on November 29 if you can. If this year’s bonus is the same as last year at over 30%, your £20 will be worth over £26 (or £32 with Gift Aid).
Rotary’s End Polio partners, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
will treble your donation (including the Gift Aid and any GlobalGiving
bonus), so if you can add Gift Aid, your £20 donation could be worth £93
to End Polio Now – funding vaccines for over 700 children.
The project should have a good chance of winning a significant bonus if we can have your help by donating via the GlobalGiving crowd funding website on November 29 - not the days before, and not the days after.
Please help us and make a donation of at least £20 on November 29.
Don't forget to provide your email address on the Global Giving website when donating so we can email you the Quiz sheets!.
