At the Rotary International Convention in Singapore, Bill Gates thanked Rotary Members by video for their role in polio eradication. His message celebrates the incredible progress we've made and reminds us that critical work remains to be done.
Our goal is to raise US$50 million for the PolioPlus Fund in 2024-25. Every dollar you donate, up to $50 million, will be matched 2-to-1 by the Gates Foundation. We encourage each club to contribute at least US$1,500 to PolioPlus. Clubs that meet this goal will receive a certificate of appreciation recognizing their vital contribution to this global effort.
You can find social media messages, educational and event materials, and more in the End Polio Now Resource Center to support the fundraising efforts of the Rotary Club of Wisconsin Rapids.
Thank you for your leadership and your dedication to Doing Good in the World. Together, we end polio.
This program in District 6250 is to recognize your gifts and pledges to support Polio Plus at a minimum of $100 per year. Visit the link for more information and see how many members can achieve this recognition by the end of the year! https://rotary6250.org/page/polio-plus-society
