What started in 2016 as a casual dinner among friends has grown into an annual gala in
Cape Town to raise money to help end polio. ¨We thought we§d raise some funds while
enjoying a meal together. As the idea grew, I brought my Rotaract club on board,© explains
Rex IP Omameh, today a joint member of the Rotaract and Rotary clubs of Blouberg. At the
2024 gala, about 100 revelers enjoyed the paparazzi treatment as they strolled the red carpet.
The party, attended by local luminaries, guests, and members of District 9350 Rotaract and
Rotary clubs, raised money for Rotary§s polio eradication efforts as well as a Rotaractor trip
to Uganda to participate in a polio vaccination campaign. ¨Each year we see more people,
especially young people, becoming passionate about polio awareness through this event,©
Omameh says. This year§s celebration, which was scheduled for 8 November, is branded as
Africa Unite: A Gala for Peace and Polio.
