Note from Honesdale Rotary:
Honesdale Rotary has created this polio plus fundraising campaign so
that it may be used by any Rotary Club. Feel free to download and
customize the following documents in any way that is appropriate for
your club. This campaign is the creation of Honesdale Rotary and has
not been endorsed by Rotary International in any way.
Why a Polio Plus Campaign?
As you know the Gates Foundation has awarded the Rotary Foundation a
$100 million grant, which Rotary will match dollar for dollar over
the next 3 years. Honesdale Rotary has accepted the challenge by
designing a local fund raising campaign that can be customized for
use by any Rotary club.
How It Works:
The campaign involves placing canisters on counter tops in local
businesses used to collect change from customers while they shop.
The canisters are also used to bring awareness to the community
about Polio Plus. Included with this campaign are pre-written public
service announcements to be given to local media outlets and a
public service announcement that can be customized for radio.
For more information or ideas on how this campaign can help your
club, contact Honesdale Rotary’s president, Brian Fulp by email at
