World Polio Day
Posted by Michelle Bell
In order to encourage further public support for its effort to eradicate polio, Rotary International is welcoming a select group of celebrities and other major public figures into a new public awareness campaign called "This Close.” The campaign is a unique way to promote Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign and its $200 Million Challenge (to match a $355 million polio eradication grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation).In honor of World Polio Day on October 24th the Marion-East Cedar Rapids Rotary Club posed for a group photo. we are "this close" to eradicating polio.
