Last year the Suntree Rotary Club raised $289.00 by collecting money during a club's meeting using funds from their 50/50 raffle and happy/sad bucks. A club member used Bill Gates Foundation motivation to double match the donation. She added $578,00 to the pot. Then a single member donated an additional $144.00 for a total raised in 15 minutes of $1,011.00!
District 6930 matched this and donated $1,011.00. The World Fund matched it and donated $1,011.00. The accumulated donated of $3,033.00 was double matched by the Bill Gates Foundation for a grand total of $9,099.00 - raised in fifteen minutes!!
At a cost of $3.00 to immunize a child the club raised enough to immunize 3,033 children. They plan on doing it again this year.
That's a lasting impact in Rotary's efforts to eradicate polio worldwide!
