Crocus Potential..• The crocus has the potential to become:
• Rotary’s biggest fundraising and advocacy tool
• Fundraising: If every Rotarian distributed just
10 crocuses to their family and friends we
could raise some US$25 million p.a. (approx.
half RI’s annual fundraising target for the End
Polio Now Campaign)
• Advocacy: perhaps more importantly,
especially as the end game draws near, this
could generate 100’s of millions of
conversations about Rotary and the End Polio
Now Campaign creating mass awareness and
supporting lobbying to governments by
demonstrating the breadth and depth of
support for polio eradication, as well as
triggering countless more donations
