Eradication of polio is a part of Rotary's focus on disease prevention and control, where polio now exists in only a few parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. On World Polio Day October 24th, we had a special event at Dueling Dog Brewery to raise money for the Polio Plus initiative. .jpg)
As shown, we raised $1,773 at the event, exceeding our $1,200 goal. This was matched by our Rotary District 5180, and then supplemented by a donation of two times the total amount by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, another major contributor to polio eradication. The total result was over $10,000 for Polio Plus.
