The Match is On – Amplify Your Impact and End Polio This October!
October is here, and so is your chance to make a huge difference in the fight to end polio! For a limited time, donations between $200 and $500 to The Rotary Foundation’s Polio Plus Fund will be matched 1-to-1 with Rotary Foundation Recognition Points. This means you can fast-track your way to becoming a Paul Harris Fellow or level up to the next milestone twice as fast—all while supporting the global push to eradicate polio!
How can you get involved? We’ve got exciting ways for you to contribute and make a difference:
- Get Ducky at Our 3rd Annual Duck Race!
Sponsor one or more ducks to race in the fun-filled event happening Saturday, October 19th at Typhoon Texas Waterpark! You don’t even need to be present to join in on the action—your ducks will race for you. Will your duck be the one to cross the finish line first? - Sponsor a Rider in the Annual Ride for Polio!
Show your support for those biking to end polio! Contact Ute Schneider ute.a.schneider@gmail.com or PDG Chris Schneider chs@chemcacinc.com to sponsor a rider. It’s a fantastic way to get involved in the fight while cheering on those riding for the cause! - Pumpkins for Polio at First Colony Mall!
From October 24th to 27th, check out the creative, vibrant pumpkins displayed by Rotary clubs across the district. Vote for your favorite, and while you're there, make a donation to Polio Plus to support the effort. It’s a fun and festive way to contribute to a life-changing cause!
Why Now?
Your support is more critical than ever, and with this limited-time match, your contribution will go even further. Every dollar helps protect children from polio and moves us closer to making polio a disease of the past. Plus, your donation could bring you closer to your next Paul Harris Fellow level!
Don’t wait—Act Today! Whether you're buying ducks, sponsoring a rider, or voting for pumpkins, every action makes a real difference in the fight to end polio. Together, we’re one step closer to a polio-free world!
Thank you for supporting Our Rotary Foundation and the Polio Plus Fund!
The fine print - As this is a Rotary Foundation Recognition Points Match, the Match does not increase your Major Giving totals which must be cash (no points) and starts at a lifetime giving amount of $10,000. But we would still encourage you Major Donors to continue to give each year!
