You're invited to join us in supporting Rotary's worldwide effort to eradicate polio during a Purple Prizes Fundraiser Friday, Oct. 9, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Thee Chatterbox in Corning.
πΊ[NEWS]: Frank Acomb from WYDC BIGFox interviewed Corning Rotary President Pauline Emery and Foundation Wendy Winnett about the event -- and how PolioPlus is helping eradicate Polio on the earth. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTnlts0YdQY
ποΈThe event is free and open to the public. Guests may purchase Purple Prizes tickets for $5 each for chances to win a purple pumpkin donated by Vitrix, and other purple-themed prizes. Winning tickets will be drawn at 7 p.m.
Note the purple theme! Guests who wear purple will receive an additional raffle ticket - giving them two for the price of one, when they make their raffle ticket purchase.
πΉ π₯¨ πDrinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, will be available for purchase from Thee Chatterbox, and Corning Rotary members will provide light snacks. Thee Chatterbox is a cash business, but they have an ATM handy!
All proceeds will support Rotary's End Polio Now campaign. Donations to Rotary's polio eradication effort are matched 2-to-1 by the Gates Foundation, tripling their impact.
