For over 25 years, Rotarians have worked tirelessly to help eradicate polio.  Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal disease that still strikes children mainly under the age of 5 in countries in Asia, Africa and the eastern Mediterranean region.  There is no cure for Polio, the only way to help is with prevention.  For as little as .60 worth of vaccine a child can be protected against Polio.  Help us to continue our plight to eradicate this horrible disease.  Last year we raised more than $1000.00 for our foundation, come help us increase that contribution this year.  

Together,  we can..... STRIKE OUT POLIO!
