Have Fun while supporting Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign by entering our Christmas Fun Quiz. Donate £20 (or more if you feel like supporting with a larger donation) and we’ll email you a copy of the quiz for every £20. The quiz is just as big as last year, with over 100 questions in 10 sections, and the cost remains the same.
Challenge your friends and family - who can get the highest score? Or, even better, get them to make their own donation and receive their own copy of the quiz.
There are NO PRIZES - this is just for your fun and to raise funds for End Polio Now. Answers will be published just before Christmas and emailed to all participants so you can check how well you did, and enjoy Christmas with the satisfaction not only that you have challenged your knowledge and intellect, but you've made a valuable donation to Rotary's End Polio Now Campaign to rid the world of Polio!
Every donation of £20 is invaluable, funding vaccines for up to 160 children against Polio, and if we can claim Gift Aid on your donation this becomes £25, funding vaccines for up to 200 children.
Roger Kettle, our Quizmaster supreme says “I hope that you will support the initiative as you so generously did in each of the last three years .....”
Everyone has a right to avoid the curse of Polio. Help make it come true!
Rotary started the fight against Polio in the Philippines in 1987 when there were over 350,000 cases of Polio a year. In 2024 Wild Polio cases have risen from eight (Pakistan, Afghanistan) in 2023 to over 40. We are so near to ending this disease in the world. Donations from this challenge will help fund Rotary's End Polio Now campaign and bring the elimination of Polio closer by helping pay for vaccinations in the last two countries of the world where Polio remains active 'in the wild'. UNICEF states each vaccination dose costs between US 10c to 19c. Help eliminate Polio AND avoid pre-Christmas boredom.
This could be only the second disease that mankind has eliminated (the first was Smallpox, eradicated in 1977).
Every donation is tripled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Every penny goes to End Polio Now.
Donations on any day are welcome, but donations made via the GlobalGiving website on December 3 generates a bonus!

If you can, make your donation via GlobalGiving on this special BONUS DAY – Tuesday December 3
All donations made on Tuesday December 3. 2024 are eligible for a share of a “prize” fund of $750,000 which it allocates to fundraisers according to the donations they receive that day, so please donate on November 28 if you can. If this year’s bonus is the same as last year’s 'over 30%', your £20 will be worth over £26 (or £31 with Gift Aid).
Rotary’s End Polio partners, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, will treble your donation (including the Gift Aid and any GlobalGiving bonus), so if you can add Gift Aid, your £20 donation could be worth £93 to End Polio Now – funding vaccines for over 700 children.
Donations can be made via the GlobalGiving crowd funding website or directly to the Rotary Club of Billericay.
The project should have a good chance of winning a significant bonus if we can have your help by donating on December 3 - not the days before, and not the days after.
Please help us and make a donation of at least £20 on December 3.
