What is Purple Pinkie Day?
In countries where the threat of polio remains, children still receive their polio vaccine by mouth. When vaccinating millions of children in a short period of time it is impossible to document so, every child has the little finger (pinkie) nail of their left hand painted with an indelible purple marker to ensure they only receive one dose. This is how the “Purple Pinkie” has become a symbol of a polio free world.
Help Eradicate Polio; Order Your Purple Pinkie Donuts Today
This is our 6th Annual Purple Pinkie Donut Fundraiser. Over the last 5 years we have raised just under $5 Million for the eradication of polio and our goal is to add another $1.5 Million this year.
This fundraiser takes advantage of several matching fund opportunities and turns every dollar you donate into $7.50. This 7.5x match means your $25 donation becomes $187.50 in the global fight to eradicate polio and on top of that you get a free box of Purple Pinkie Donuts as a thank you.
Donut ordering is now closed for the 2023 campaign. However, you can still take advantage of the matching fund when you make a donation at the link below through October 25th.
