WHAT IS RAISE FOR ROTARY?
Raise for Rotary is The Rotary Foundation’s peer-to-peer fundraising platform. 
Members, donors, and participants use it to create fundraisers for birthdays, athletic challenges, and events like World Polio Day. You can quickly post fundraisers and updates on social media to raise awareness about your favorite Rotary cause. 
The platform is available worldwide in English and accepts U.S., Canadian, and Australian dollars, with more language and currency options in the works. Contributions from members are credited to them and contributions from nonmembers are credited to the organizer’s club.
Since Raise for Rotary was launched in 2020, more than 1,500 events have generated more than $1 million for the World Fund, PolioPlus, the Disaster Response Fund, and Rotary’s areas of focus. 
 
Learn more and start your fundraiser at rotary.org/raise.

As part of our commitment to serve the community, we have a wonderful opportunity the last Tuesday

real difference.

Event Details:
Date: June 25, 2024
Time: T.B.A.

Location: Canadian Blood Services 32700 South Fraser Way (West Oaks Mall)
Why Donate Plasma?
