From Friday 16th August to Sunday 17th August Rotarians in District 1270 will be rising to the Gates Foundation $100 million Challenge to eradicate polio worldwide. A variety of fund raising events have been organised from street collections to camping and musical entertainment to walking.
A financial challenge recognised by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which has awarded $100 million dollars on the proviso that Rotarians worldwide commit to match this grant over a three year period from January 2008. To achieve this goal every Rotary club worldwide is being challenged to organise public fundraising events to raise a minimum of $1,000 annually for the next three years. “Eradicating polio will be one of the most significant public health accomplishments in history and we are committed to helping reach that goal with Rotary as one of our key partners” Bill Gates, Co-Chair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation |
