The Challenge: The Norwich University Rotaract Club invites interested Rotary Clubs within District 7850, to participate in challenging local schools in and around Central Vermont to fundraise $1,955 per school towards Rotary International's Polio Plus Challenge. Their goal is to have at least 10 schools accept this challenge and collectively raise nearly $20,000. To learn more, or to schedule a presentation of this proposal at your club's next meeting, contact: Nicole DiDomenico, President-Elect/Norwich University Rotaract Advisor of the Northfield Rotary Club.
Why Polio?
In 1985, Rotary created PolioPlus -- a program to immunize all the world’s children against polio by 2005 -- Rotary’s centennial. PolioPlus is one of the most ambitious humanitarian undertakings made by a private entity ever. It will serve as a paradigm for private/public collaborations in the fight against disease well into the next century.
Rotary’s PolioPlus program is a shining example of the achievements made possible by
cooperation between the United Nations and non-governmental organizations.
