Rogering for UNICEF: Mission Report
More than 90 Bond fans raised more than £2700 for Sir Roger’s beloved UNICEF. Rewatch the cocktails, the costume changes and the chaos here!
Thank you to everyone who donated before, during or after 3rd June 2022. This page serves as an archive of a very special day where the Bond community really came together.
Particular thanks to Billy of Billy’s Bond Art, who donated all of the sales from his website from 3rd of June.

Why UNICEF?
For many of us Bond fans, the passing of Sir Rog is still hard to take. This fundraiser was dedicated to his memory.
While Roger himself was proud of his work on Bond, he considered the greatest role of his career to be his work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. From 1991 until he died in 2017, he was a steadfast advocate for children around the world, bringing attention to child crisis issues and enlisting support and donations.
Here is an excerpt from Roger’s dedicated page on the UNICEF website:
“Sir Roger was a compelling voice on issues such as HIV/AIDS, landmine injuries and… he helped raise $91 million for the elimination of iodine deficiency.”
Knowing how much the Queen loves her Bond, we thought it would be fitting to start her Platinum Jubilee weekend the right way…
What was the assignment?
Watching a Roger Moore Bond film is always a pleasure but watching all 7 of them back to back was always going to be a challenge. That’s why we scheduled in brief breaks to make a cocktail themed to each film. We streamed the cocktail making live and checked in on twitter regularly throughout the day using the hashtag #RogeringforUNICEF. We also created a Watch Party through Amazon.
Below, you will find the videos we created throughout the day, along with the recipes for the cocktails we made.
