Look for that Purple Pinkie! A person with a purple pinkie finger has supported Rotary’s “Polio Plus” Project to eradicate polio. Your contribution today will help Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million will directly support immunization campaigns in developing countries, where polio continues to infect and paralyze children

Rotary has helped reduce the spread of polio throughout the world since 1985. Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death.  Because there is no cure for polio, the best protection is prevention. For as little as $ .60 worth of vaccine, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life. The Rotary Club of Downtown Lock Haven contributes to this effort with annual projects.
