Rotary's World Polio Day is October 24th, 2019. To raise awareness and funds to help eradicate polio, David Johnston will be competing in a Century Bike Ride (100 miles) on Saturday October 19. Please make a pledge to donate a dollar amount per mile, on David's 100 mile ride, or make a flat donation. Every dollar helps.
Rotary has committed to raising $50 million per year for polio eradication. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged to match that 2-to-1, for a total commitment of $150 million each year. These funds provide much-needed operational support, medical workers, laboratory equipment, and educational materials. Governments, corporations, and private donors all play a crucial role in funding.
