In preparation for World Polio Day on 24 October, please get involved and encourage your members to do so as well. You can:
- Contribute to our PolioPlus Fund
- Donate DDF through District 5650
- Start a fundraiser on Raise for Rotary
By raising awareness and funds on World Polio Day, we can protect children in communities around the world so that they never again suffer the paralyzing effects of this disease. We must remain vigilant and continue our work to immunize up to 400 million children each year. Until polio is eradicated from the world, it remains a threat to children everywhere.
Thank you for your leadership as together, we end polio.
Sincerely,
The Rotary Foundation
