There is a suggested donation of $20 as a donation to End Polio Now. We'll take some pictures together so please share the photo on your social media and include the link below for outside support.
This worldwide effort will bring about the eradication of the second human disease in history, and most importantly, ensure that no parent or child would have to fear the paralysis the virus causes ever again. Join Rotary International to eradicate polio throughout the whole world.
