Ramsey Rotary Club Working To Eradicate Polio

RAMSEY, NJ - From the Ramsey Rotary & End Polio: Eradicating polio worldwide is a core project of Rotary International, and members of the Bergen Highlands/Ramsey Rotary Club are joining Rotarians around the planet to support World Polio Day on October 24.

Polio is a vaccine-preventable disease, and through the work of Rotary and many others, it is moving closer to eradication each year. On World Polio Day, the goal is to raise awareness and raise funds for vaccinations. Thanks to a 2-to-1 match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, every donation made to Rotary to end polio will be tripled.

The BH/R Rotary Club invites you to learn more and donate online at www.endpolio.org, or donate locally by calling Rotarian Tom Grissom at 201-788-3383.

Twitter users can join @Rotary and @gatesfoundation for a live #WorldPolioDay event and make an impact in the global fight to #endpolio.

Smallpox is the only human disease ever eradicated – let’s make polio the second. No child should have to suffer from this vaccine-preventable disease. Join the fight on World Polio Day.
