355 Club

 

Did you know that for less than the cost of a Grande Mocha that you can save six lives?

Every week, you change the life of a child in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India or Nigeria by delivering the precious polio vaccine.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated $355 million to Rotary’s campaign to End Polio Now. They challenge each and every Rotarian to match that donation by raising $200 million for the Rotary Foundation Polio Plus fund.

We are almost there, with $179 million already contributed! But to reach our goal of eradicating polio completely, we must join to together with Bill and Melinda. They put up $355 million. Will you pledge $3.55 a week?
