As we approach the holidays, we encourage you to keep Rotary's Polio Plus initiative in mind as you consider your end of the year giving.
We are closer than ever to ridding the world of this horrible disease. 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. Overall, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent.
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
As you can see, we are making incredible strides in eradicating this horrible disease, but we need your continued support! Even a small contribution can help protect many children from this disease.
Visit the link below to donate and don’t forget to share this donation page with others. Together we can eradicate polio and save numerous children from this disease!
Thank you,
Derek Stemen & Keith Horner, Polio Plus Chairs
