Cooking for the Cure
A Global Get Together in Aid of Polio Plus
In Polio week we organise an international fundraising event for
END POLIO NOW.
Over three years sales and donations amount to $30,489.89... With Gates matching
We have provided 617,458 vaccines.
We aim to make it a million.
It is not too late to catch up with Cookin ’25
Folk were so impressed by the brilliance of last year’s recorded talks by Gordon McInally and John Nanni (assisted by Nancy Barbee) that we were asked to make them available for Clubs to use at meetings throughout the year. Donors attending such meetings will be rewarded with a copy of Food the World Over. Can your Club use the recordings to raise cash?
It is not too early to start thinking October 24th ‘26
We are also looking for people and Clubs to help us plan an online meeting for Clubs all round the world to share in Polio week. We want to keep up our reputation for stellar speakers and to beat our record of eight Clubs taking part.
