What is The Purple Pinkie Donut Project?

On Tuesday, October 20, in early celebration of World Polio Day, Dunkin' locations in TN, AL, and MS are partnering with Rotary to host a fundraising event for End Polio Now! For every $2 donated to End Polio Now! at a participating Dunkin' location, guests will receive a Purple Pinkie Donut - a glazed donut stick, topped with a dab of purple icing - as a thank you. Through generous matching funds from Rotary districts and The Gates Foundation, each $2 donation becomes a total donation of $18 to help eradicate polio. The Purple Pinkie Donut Project has generated more than $600,000 in donations to End Polio Now! in the first two years.

Why 'Purple Pinkie'?

In countries where polio threat remains high, children under 5 receive a vaccine by mouth twice per year during the "National Immunization Days." Every child vaccinated has their left pinkie nail painted with the indelible purple marker to track their vaccination and signal that they will never get polio. Over time the "Purple Pinkie" has become an international symbol of a polio-free world.
