The Gates Foundation made a presentation at the International Assembly to announce a further $50 million donation to Rotary for polio eradication!

These new funds will not be challenge funds, but a straight and immediate donation to support Rotary in finishing the job of defeating polio, and brings their total donations to Rotary's PolioPlus campaign to $405 million dolllars!

 
Rotary District 5050 has been one of the leaders and top supporters of PolioPlus - ranking as the 7th highest contributor in the world (yes the world - not just North America) and likely to be one of the top 5 with recent fundraising events such as Golfun and the Music in the Mancave night.
