We have exceeded our goal!
Exciting news from PDG Alley Boucher.
Rotarians have met and exceeded the $200,000,000. as of January 17, 2012. Rotarians were challenged, by Bill and Melinda Gates to raise $200,000,000 by June 30, 2012. If we achieved the challenge, Bill and Melinda Gates would match the $200,000,000. We surpassed the challenge by $2.6 million, five months before our deadline! We urge each and every one of you to continue raising money for Polio eradication.
Bill and Melinda Gates went above and beyond their promise, by giving the foundation an extra $50,000,000 without expectations of a match from Rotary!
We urge everyone to continue supporting Polio Plus. Please continue to raise funds to aide in eradicating this deadly disease.
