Almost $
1.3 million from BC Rotarians will provide aid and development to people and communities in need, here and worldwide
As communities in BC become stronger through facilities and services, often with a focus on those in need, through the work of Rotary clubs, funds for those projects often come from The Rotary Foundation. Communities around the world, where there is so often a desperate need for people just to survive, The Rotary Foundation provides funds to fight disease, help mothers and children survive, provide disaster relief, and improve lives often through our Rotary clubs worldwide.
To support any and all of those causes, The Rotary Foundation is receiving US $1,292,288 from generous Rotary members, and some others, in British Columbia’s Rotary District 5040 with some from Rotary District 5050. Announcement of this gift came at District 5040’s Million Dollar Dinner on October 8, 2022 at Quilchena Golf Club in Richmond.
Special guest speaker at the Million Dollar Dinner was Past Rotary International President 2020-21 Holger Knaack. Knaack spoke about the tragedy in Ukraine and how US$10 million in The Rotary Foundation disaster response fund has been used to change lives in Ukraine. He encouraged Rotary Districts to be creative and join with other Districts in funding projects with the balance of nearly $5 million. He also gave a very positive update on the Rotary-initiated global end polio eradication campaign despite reports of isolated cases over the past year.
