Crowd out Polio for you

Ensuring Success
Rotary has committed to raising $50 million per year for polio eradication.The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged to match that 2-to-1, for a total commitment of $150 million each year.
Rotary in Action
More than 1 million Rotary members have donated their time and money to eradicate polio, and every year, hundreds of members work with health workers to vaccinate children in countries affected by polio.
Challenges
Rotary and our partners have made tremendous progress against polio, but eliminating all cases is going to take even more progress and perseverance.

District 7680 Pies for Polio Challenge
To help spread the word, raise some donations and have some fun, Rotary District 7680 Governor Nico Iannelli will take a Pie for Polio (with a $100 minimum donation)
How it works: You take a pie in the face for Polio and you FILM it on your phone and put it on your social media channels! You nominate TWO friends to do the same (representing the TWO countries still dealing with Polio). You encourage others to learn about this disease and to consider making a donation here.
All donations are matched 2-1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
