Rotary's World's Largest Polio Walk 
Comes to Mall of America Oct. 24

Rotary members from across District 5950 will gather at the Mall of America on Saturday, October 24 to take part in the World’s Largest Polio Walk, a region-wide initiative designed to raise awareness and support Rotary’s decades-long mission to eradicate polio worldwide.

Held on World Polio Day, the District 5950 walk will take place from 7:30–9:30 a.m. at Mall of America’s Macy’s Court and is open to Rotarians, family members, friends and community supporters. The local event is part of a much larger effort where more than 36,000 Rotarians and nearly 1,000 Rotaractors across 11 states and two countries are being encouraged to participate. Together, Rotary members throughout the region are working toward an ambitious goal of raising $1 million to help end polio.

Rotary has been a leader in the worldwide fight against polio for more than four decades. Through its partnership in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary and its partners have helped reduce polio cases by more than 99.9% worldwide. Despite that extraordinary progress, the disease has not yet been completely eradicated.

The World’s Largest Polio Walk is intended to demonstrate that Rotary’s commitment will continue until the job is finished. Participants are encouraged to wear Rotary or End Polio Now apparel and share photos and videos from the event to help increase awareness of Rotary’s global eradication efforts.
