Rotarians raise money and awareness for End Polio Now

Elk Grove Rotarians Rod Pickett and Cheri Dial were at the ELk Grove High School football game along with other rotarians to raise money and awareness for End Polio Now.  The End polio now campaign was organized by Rotary International to eradicate Polio in the world.  Polio cases have rapidly declined since 1985 and the world is 99% polio free.  Polio is a crippling and in some cases potentially fatal infectious disease.  A child can be protected from the virus with a vaccine that cost as little as $0.60.
