Did you know that man’s best friend can help End Polio, too?
The PolioPlus Society – Kennel Klub is an extension of the PolioPlus Society, for our best friends!
The Kennel Klub was inspired by Rotary District 5320 PDG Greg and Valerie Owen’s dog, Mollie, who is giving up $10 worth of treats each month to be a Polio Plus Society member. Mollie, sporting a very special End Polio Now bandana on Rotary Zoom calls, quickly became the beloved mascot for End Polio Now in the Big West Zones. Mollie started asking her fellow four-legged friends to help her End Polio, and the Kennel Klub was born!
Within only a few months of launching, the Kennel Klub raised over $7,200 (that’s over $21,000 with the Bill and Melinda Gates 2:1 match) and has grown to over 70 members (including felines!).
Rotary is committed to raising $50 million per year, with every dollar to be matched with two additional dollars from the Gates Foundation.
How can you sign up your four-legged friend(s) to join Mollie in the Kennel Klub?
Head over to this page to join. Mollie will send you a free End Polio Now doggie bandana in the size of your choosing and a Kennel Klub membership pin.
You can also make a donation in honor a pet that has passed or gift a Kennel Klub membership to a friend’s dog. By helping End Polio, our best friends can continue to make the world a better place.
Please share the PPS Kennel Klub with your fellow Rotarians and let’s End Polio once and for all. Visit https://www.rotaryppskennelklub.org/ to learn more!
