October is Polio Awareness Month, and the highlight will be World Polio Day on October 24th.
October is here, and so is your chance to make a huge difference in the fight to End Polio Now! For a limited time, donations between $200 and $500 to The Rotary Foundation’s Polio Plus Fund will be matched 1-to-1 with Rotary Foundation Recognition Points. This means you can fast-track your way to becoming a Paul Harris Fellow or level up to the next milestone twice as fast—all while supporting the global push to eradicate polio!
There are also some district level events that you can support. Two of them are on the same day as our Reverse Draw - financial support is welcomed even if you cannot attend.
3rd Annual Paddling for Polio! Sponsor one or more ducks to race in this fun-filled event happening Saturday, October 19th at Typhoon Texas Waterpark! You don’t even need to be present to join in on the action—your ducks will race for you.
