District 7090 is holding this special event on September 21st as an End Polio effort.
"If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary has helped reduce polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion, and countless volunteer hours, to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease.
Today, polio remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan. An 11-month-old boy in Gaza has contracted polio.
It's crucial that the eradication initiative continue."
Thank you! With your help we raised a total of CAD 829 for Polio Fund.
