Donation deadline has been extended to November 15th to participate in District 5960's STRIKE OUT POLIO Challenge!
Polio eradication is Rotary’s most significant priority, and we aren’t going to stop until we get the job done. And, in the current environment, we know how much a viral outbreak can affect our society. We would like to encourage you to donate to Polio Plus this month. As always, we just encourage you to give something, regardless of the amount. It costs less than $5 to vaccinate a child fully, so any amount helps! We want to encourage you to be generous, though, and that’s why we have a special matching program again this year!
You can be rewarded and recognized for donations to the Rotary Foundation's PolioPlus Fund depending on you level of giving:
BASE HIT: Give at least $100 to Polio Plus during October, and the donation will be matched 1:1 with Recognition Points, as well as a membership to the POLIO PLUS SOCIETY.
HOME RUN: Give at least $365 (the equivalent of $1/day) to Polio Plus during October, and in addition to the POLIO PLUS SOCIETY membership, we will utilize Recognition Points to make you a Paul Harris Fellow!
Once you’ve decided how much you are comfortable giving, it’s easy to give to PolioPlus: You can give a check (made payable to The Rotary Foundation with “PolioPlus” in the memo line) to our club Treasurer, Janet Swanson or you can make a payment on-line at Donate | Rotary International. If you do donate on-line please provide a copy of the email received from Rotary International, verifying your contribution, to Janet and Don for club record keeping purposes.
Remember, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a great partner in the effort to eradicate polio. Every dollar Rotarians give, the Gates Foundation matches 2:1. As a Rotarian, you should be proud to be a part of the largest public/private partnership in the world’s history. We are this close…and you can help us finish the job!
Thank you for all you do as a Rotarian, and thank you for helping to STRIKE OUT POLIO!!
