About our cause

Rotary is an international community that brings together leaders who step up to take on the world’s toughest challenges, locally and globally. The eradication of polio is one of our longest standing and most significant efforts. Along with our partners, we have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won't stop until polio is gone.

October 24 is World Polio Day, and net proceeds from the The Hunt to End Polio will go to the Polio Plus Fund of The Rotary Foundation, helping Rotary and its partners reach every child with the polio vaccine. With your help, we can end polio for good. 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️
