On October 24, World Polio Day, the Rotary Club of Arlington Heights, along with the Rotary Clubs of Buffalo Grove, Palatine and River Cities, will join thousands of Rotary members across eleven states and two countries in the World’s Largest Polio Walk, a coordinated effort to raise awareness and support the global fight to end polio.
As part of this initiative, thousands of Rotary club members, friends and families are expected to participate by organizing and joining walks in their local communities.
The Rotary Club of Arlington Heights will host its local walk at beautiful Lake Arlington on October 24 at 10:00 AM, inviting community members, families, and supporters to take part in this meaningful event.
Rotary has been a leader in the fight to eradicate polio for more than 35 years through its End Polio Now campaign, helping reduce cases worldwide by over 99.9%. Events like the World’s Largest Polio Walk aim to raise awareness and ensure the momentum continues until polio is fully eradicated.
Participants are encouraged to wear Rotary or End Polio Now gear, bring friends and family, and share their experience on social media to help amplify the message.
