Rotary has dedicated 35+ years and $2.1 billion to eradicating polio, protecting nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries and reducing cases by 99.9%. Today, polio remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year. Rotarians and community members are invited to support the cause and participate in the first annual Pickleball for Polio event on World Polio Day.
