The official partnership between Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland (RIBI) and BBC Children in Need has resulted in a staggering amount raised for the charity.
Rotary clubs have often supported BBC Children in Need over the years but this latest combined effort has resulted in even more funds being raised for the good cause.
Although money is still being donated, early reports suggest that clubs have raised nearly £100,000 through a range of incredible activities. From barn dances, quiz nights, casino nights and dog walks, to children’s fun days, mascot mayhem, collections at Terminal 5 Heathrow Airport and musical performances, Rotary clubs pulled out the stops to involve everyone with helping the charity.
On Friday, the peak of the campaign, BBC presenter Sir Terry Wogan announced that over £26m had been raised this year, with that figure set to rise even further.
Rotary was featured on the national BBC broadcast as one of the official partners along with ticker tape mentions of club achievements.
There are still events taking place which you can be involved with and you can catch up with success stories.
Join Rotary and make a world of a difference.
