Update #2
a month ago
The first individual Club Page has been established, and we are hoping that all clubs in District 6270 will join in to raise money for World Polio Day.
Share the QR code and send it to friends and contacts and get them to help us eradicate polio.
We expect that there will be a really interesting prize awarded to the club with the highest per capita giving to PolioPlus at the end of December 2024, when the contest ends.
Update #1
The Rotary Club of Mitchell Field team challenges all other Clubs in District 6270 to beat our per capita giving to End Polio Now.

Why we are fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
In 1985, Rotary International, and its millions of members, promised the children of the world that we would eliminate polio, a disease that cripples and kills young people. At that time, there were around 350,000 cases of polio globally each year, even though it had been eradicated in many parts of the world.
Thanks to the formation of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we have reduced that to only 25 cases, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, thus far in 2024. The last steps of a long journey are always the hardest. Please join us in taking them, and help us fulfill our promise to the children.
Each dollar donated is matched 2-1 by the Gates Foundation, and provides the necessary vaccine to prevent one child from contracting the disease.
Your donation, either to the District Team, or one of the Club Teams, will make sure that we are successful in eradication of the disease.
Note: Rotarians should use the email that they use in corresponding with Rotary, to insure PHF points credit
Polio Fund
Your donation helps Rotary reach every child with the polio vaccine.
