Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal disease. Fortunately, although incurable, Polio is easy to prevent. A child can be vaccinated for just one dollar, protecting a child against this terrible disease for life.  Through one of the world’s biggest immunization programs, Polio has been 99 per cent eradicated – so this is one last push to destroy the disease for good.

Why is it called Purple Pinkie? When a child is vaccinated, they have a purple stamp put on their little finger. So each Purple Pinkie brings us closer to making Polio history.

By supporting the Purple Pinkie Project, you can help make the pain and life-limiting effects of Polio a thing of the past.

Join our Interact Club of Clarington as they host the Purple Pinkie Project.  To date they have raised enough funds to vaccinate almost 10,000 children from Polio.
