North Texas Giving Day
 
EARLY GIVING STARTS TODAY FOR NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY!

And we have some exciting news: your gift will be DOUBLED!

Thanks to a generous matching donor, every dollar given will be matched, up to $15,000! That means $15,000 in donations becomes $30,000 and gets us to our North Texas Giving Day goal!
 
Spirit Fundraiser

There will be crafts, snacks and even a temp tattoo artist onsite to help with the fun! The event is free and sponsored by the Richardson East Rotary Foundation.

World's Largest Polio Walk

On October 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST, Rotary District 5810 will join Rotary members and supporters across Region 36 for the World's Largest Polio Walk in support of Rotary's End Polio Now campaign.

For nearly 40 years, Rotary has been at the forefront of the fight against polio, helping reduce cases worldwide by 99.9%. Today, we are closer than ever to eradicating this disease forever—but we need your help to finish the job.

Your $25 registration directly supports Rotary District 5810's PolioPlus fundraising goal, helping provide vaccines, surveillance, and immunization efforts in vulnerable communities around the world. As a special thank you, every registered Rotarian participant will receive Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Points equal to their registration donation.

Whether you're a Rotarian, family member, friend, or community supporter, every step you take helps move us closer to a world where no child will ever suffer from polio again.
