Rotary Club of New Braunfels and the Downtown Rotary Club of New Braunfels, in conjunction with Guadalupe Brewing Company, present Pints for Polio 2023, a fundraiser for Rotary International's mission to eradicate polio. Cost is $25 and includes your first pint of beer. GBC will donate $1 from each additional pint sold after that, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will match 2:1 all proceeds from the event. In 2022 we raised $2,600 in just a few short hours and this year our goal is $5,000+. Please help us meet that goal by joining us for a pint, or two, or...
Rotary International launched a global effort to immunize the world’s children against polio in 1985 followed by the establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988. When the GPEI started, polio paralysed more than 1000 children worldwide every day. Since then, more than 2.5 billion children have been immunized against polio thanks to the cooperation of more than 200 countries and 20 million volunteers. According to WHO data, there are currently 14 total reported cases in three countries, so there is still work to do and money to be raised.
We hope you join us!
