Rotarians were at it again last week, ringing the bell to eradicate polio from the face of the earth. Generous folks going in and out of City Market donated $243 to the fight. With the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pledge to match every dollar raised with $2 more, that means $730 to continue the effort that we are so close to winning.
But Rotarians are not done yet. So far, Rotarians have contributed $940 and there are two weeks left in the campaign. These funds will be matched by the Gates Foundation as well. That total is then $3,550 so far.
Find a Rotarian and get them a check made out to The Rotary Foundation for Polio Plus or go online to endpolionow.org and make a donation.
When Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative three decades ago, polio paralyzed 1,000 children a day. Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million people working to change the world and one way we will do that is by eradicating polio.
