October is Polio Awareness month globally. Rotary International along with the local clubs raise approximately $35 million every year to help eradicate Polio by giving much needed vaccine to countries still afflicted with this debilitating disease. It has been eradicated from all but two countries.
 
Bill Gates has also pledged to double the donations raised by Rotary International up to $35 million which makes his donation approximately $70 million every year until 2018.
 
If you would like to help us raise our share of the pledge locally, we have a website PocketChangeForPolio.com where you can donate online. We also list locations were our "Pocket Change for Polio" jars are so you can empty your pockets once to help vaccinate people in the countries still effected.
 
We will be running our campaign until November 14th.
 
Thanks for your help!
