Thank you for Joining us to Help Bring an End to World Wide Polio.
In Celebration of World Polio Day (2016 & 2017)
we had the opportunity to participate in an exciting way.
Through their commitment to world wide vaccination, Rotary International in partnership with the Gates Foundation is “This Close” to ending Polio. We were excited, two years in a row to have teamed up to help Rotary International "Bring it to the Finish Line", by actively being involved in the "Purple Pinkie" Run/Walk to End Polio.
It is truly a privilege to engage with some of the thousands of Rotarians who have been working tirelessly to raise funds to eradicate Polio since 1985. With the Gates Foundation participation, your gifts over the last two years have raised over $12,000 for the Rotary Foundation’s Polio Plus Campaign ! As a result, your donations will provide more than 19,000 Polio vaccinations to children in the most difficult to reach corners of the world.
Why is is called "Purple Pinkie" ? When children are vaccinated, they are given a treat - of course they love it, so they get back into line ! Now, as they are vaccinated, their "pinkie" fingers are dipped into purple ink.

Our "Collage of Gratitude"
All over the world, Rotary International is showing their commitment to “End Polio Now”
On September 9, 2016, we presented our gift to Dr. Carol Pandak, Director of Polio Plus at Rotary International
(along with two members of her "End Polio Now" team); at their headquarters in Evanston, Illinois.
Our gift to them showed the gratitude of Polio Survivors, our Families and our Caregivers for their commitment
(partnering with the Gates Foundation) to eradicate this terrible disease through world wide vaccination.
It's not to late to be part of this fun project. We would like to give them a slide show of these and additional photos as well.
These images will continually remind them that we truly appreciate their dedication and commitment to this effort.
We know that because of Post-Polio Syndrome, it will take a full generation to rid the world of the effects of this terrible disease.
Every child being vaccinated is the start.
Would you like to take your photo with the "Gift of Gratitude" or “Good-Bye” Polio posters?
They are available below for easy printing. We’ll be using “old” historical photos as well.
(We would like for you to include your country of residence.)
Send them to us by email: papolionetwork@gmail.com
