Local Rotarians are Working to Eradicate Polio

Local Rotarians are collecting money to further their goal of eradicating polio from the face of the earth. Since Rotary International began this project 25 years ago polio cases have declined by more than 99% and today polio is endemic in only four countries; Nigeria, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
 
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match every dollar that local Rotarians raise in the effort.
 
The loose change in your pocket will make a reality of a polio free world.  A world where no child will ever again be crippled by this terrible disease.  Help the local Rotarians do their part in this fight by dropping some change into a can.  Then you will have helped to change the world.
