Rich Sell with Manhattan Konza spoke to the Ottawa Rotary Club in the spring about their fundraiser for Polio Plus, the Purple Pinky Donut project. This was inspiring to our club, so we decided to add to our Polio efforts by doing a fundraising project too. Working with Bluemont Group, who owns a number of Dunkin Donuts in the KC metro area, we were able to “give” donuts to anyone who made at least a $25 donation to Polio Plus. Ottawa Rotary raised $1750, resulting in 700 donuts we were able to give to the donors because of Bluemont. This gift is matched by Rotary International, increasing its impact!
