Eight Rotary clubs in Macao turn their fundraising efforts to End Polio up a notch this year, with a public-facing charity run and walk in the morning and a large-scale World\u2019s Greatest Meal to Help End Polio charity dinner in the evening of 22 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Kick\u2014Off ceremony was officiated by Macau SAR Sports Bureau President Pun Weng Kun. In total, around 400 walkers and runners from Rotary and local communities joined, including 145 Rotarians, Rotaractors,  Interactors, Alumni and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo far the Macao public has really responded well,\u201d says President William Tang of the Rotary Club of Hou Kuong, who chairs the Organizing Committee for this year\u2019s End Polio Now campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve received 400 registrations to our Charity Run & Walk and we are happy to see the public joining Rotarians in this meaningful inclusive event. This is exactly what we were hoping to achieve. End Polio is a long-running cause championed by Rotarians everywhere. To eradicate it from the world requires more public awareness and involvement beyond Rotarians.\u201d – President William Tang, Organising Chair, End Polio Now Campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening fundraising program was a Halloween-themed charity dinner called \u201cThe World\u2019s Greatest Meal to Help End Polio\u201d (WGM) at Tromba Rija, Macau Tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Li Ying, President of Rotary Club of Macau, says that their club has been holding the event for years on their own. \u201cWGM is a fun way to raise funds, especially when we can piggyback fundraising with Halloween. Since last year, we started inviting all eight Rotary Clubs in Macao to join. Half of the meal fee goes to the End Polio Fund while our Rotarians and their families and friends enjoy a great meal together with creativity and fellowship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macau End Polio Day events successfully raised a total of USD10,000 for Rotary End Polio Fund with USD5,200 from Charity Run & Walk and USD4,800 from World\u2019s Greatest Meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
