Purple Pinkie is a campaign by Rotary District 1240 to raise money to End Polio Now – one of the world’s biggest ever immunisation
programmes. In its first year it was a tremendous success capturing the imagination of the public and to build
on that success, Purple Pinkie is coming up with many more innovative ideas - full of fun - with something for all ages.
Polio has no cure. It is a crippling and potentially
fatal disease and children under the age of five are at greatest risk. However Polio
is easy to prevent by vaccination that costs just 50p. When a child is vaccinated, they
have a purple stamp put on their little finger – giving them a Purple Pinkie.
Purple Pinkie Week is 20th February to 28th February 2010 and Purple Pinkie
Rotary Day is Tuesday 23rd February, when Rotary clubs throughout the county will be raising money to help eradicate polio
once and for all.
