116 Rotarians and Interact students representing our nine area Rotary and Interact clubs walked to #EndPolioNow.
We joined Rotarians across the country and around the world in raising awareness and funds to help end polio for good. Early reports indicate we raised more than $5,020 for polio eradication!!
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 45 years, contributing more than $2.9B to the global fight against polio and, alongside our global partners, have helped immunize more than 3 billion children. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It’s crucial to continue until the world is polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
Thank you to District Governor Scott Ryan for joining us for this special morning, and to Assistant Governors Kathi Millard and Stefanie Kline for leading the planning efforts alongside representatives from all nine clubs.
Thank you to Dave Anderson for capturing the beautiful morning
, to our walk sponsors (The UPS Store, Doggie Business, LLC, The Rookery, Matt Mahlum and the Dickinson family) for supporting the effort and, most of all, to everyone who showed up, walked and helped move us one step closer to a polio-free world.
