GET INVOLVED

Strike Out Polio
 
Our STRIKE OUT POLIO campaign has started off strong in the first week of October, and you can help us keep up the momentum! October 24th is World Polio Day, where the Rotary world leads a celebration of our progress towards eradicating polio.  And, slightly less important (especially with the way the Twins played) but still important to us…it’s the baseball playoffs!  
 
Polio eradication is Rotary’s most significant priority, and we aren’t going to stop until we get the job done.  We’ve made great strides too…in 1988, there were over 350,000 cases of polio in 125 endemic countries (where the spread of the wild polio virus had never been stopped).  As of September 30th, there have been 102 cases this year in two endemic countries…Pakistan and Afghanistan! 
 
It’s easy to give to PolioPlus: You can give a check (made payable to The Rotary Foundation with “PolioPlus” in the memo line) to your Club President or Foundation Chair, or you can make a payment online at www.myrotary.org/give
 
One note: you do need a My Rotary account to give through Rotary Direct, so CLICK HERE for easy set-up instructions
 
Note donors who give $100 or over $365 will be recognized and rewarded.
