In 1985, at a time when there were 1,000 cases of polio reported in the world EACH DAY, Rotary International pledged to all the children of the world… WE WILL ERADICATE POLIO.
Since that time, we have eliminated 99.99% of all polio cases - to the point that there have only been 10 (ten) cases reported as of the end of June 2026.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the Rotary Clubs of District 6270 in Wisconsin will join other clubs in Zones 25B & 29 in conducting the World’s Largest Polio Walk, taking place at multiple sites across the upper Midwest. All funds raised go directly to Rotary’s PolioPlus efforts to eliminate polio for good.
Polio is the world’s forgotten disease and something that should have been made history a long time ago. It is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease. There is no cure, but there are safe and effective vaccines. The strategy to eradicate polio is therefore based on preventing infection by immunizing every child until transmission stops and the world is polio-free.
This October we are asking you to Walk With Us for those who can’t. We are challenging you to walk, run or roll on October 24th and raise vital funds that will help eradicate and prepare us for a Polio free world.
Be part of something special: Be part of the end game strategy and raise funds to help make Polio history so that no child ever again suffers paralytic poliomyelitis.
