The Rotary Club
of Sedona joined thousands of Rotary Clubs around the globe by contributing
to Rotary Internationals’ top philanthropic goal to eradicate polio
worldwide. Sedona’s Rotarians raised
$1,000 through recent New Years All Year Around events to donate to the Polio
Plus campaign. To date, Rotarians
worldwide have contributed nearly $800 million to the protection of more than
two billion children in 122 countries.
Rotary International, through its 33,000 Rotary Clubs, is currently working to raise
an additional $200 million toward a $355 million challenge grant from the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Did You Know? …. ·
