TOGETHER, WE CAN END POLIO
In 1985, when more than 1,000 children were paralyzed by polio every day, Rotary International made a promise to the children of the world: WE WILL ERADICATE POLIO.
Today, thanks to Rotary and our partners, polio has been reduced by more than 99.9%, with only a handful of cases remaining in Afghanistan and Pakistan. With your help, we can finish the job.
Every sponsorship dollar brings us one step closer to a world free of polio. Your sponsorship helps:
- Provide each participant with an official World's Largest Polio Walk T-shirt.
- Supply water to keep walkers hydrated throughout the event.
- Print route maps so every participant can safely navigate from start to finish.
- Raise awareness in our communities that we are closer than ever to ending polio for good.
- Fund lifesaving polio vaccines that help protect children around the world, giving them the opportunity to live healthier, safer lives.
Together, we can finish the fight to End Polio.
