Rotary - End Polio Now

After 20 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed now to root it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions.

Your contribution will help Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million will directly support immunization campaigns in developing countries, where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families.

As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.

We will select other local charities during the Rotary year (July thru June) and one International Charity with some of our proceeds as well.  In addition we plan to offer a scholarship or multiple scholarships (depending on the monies raised at this event) to help a student of need and worthiness for next year's college expenses.
