Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
Join Rotary International District 7770 in helping to #EndPolioNow in honor of World Polio Week October 20 - 26, with Word Polio Day on October 24. While polio has been eliminated in the US since the 1960's, thanks to the Salk and Sabin vaccines, there were still 1,000 children being stricken a day around the world witb polio when Rotary accepted this challenge 40 years ago. We are 99.9% of the way there - just two countries remain: Afghanistan and Pakistan. For every $1 you donate through The Rotary Foundation, the Gates Foundation will donate $2, tripling your impact! No gift too small or too large! Thank you for helping us to get closer to eliminating only the 2nd disease in modern history - the first being smallpox in the first half of the 1900's. Thank you for joining "Flat Bernie" helping to End Polio Now!
