Please join us to support World Polio Day, Thursday, October 23, 2025, for the “Pints for Polio” fundraising event at the Craft Food Hall, 200 5th Ave. Waltham, MA 02451.
Rotary International has been a key player supporting the polio eradication efforts for many years, raising funds and awareness across the globe. Since 1988, we've seen a worldwide reduction in polio cases of 99.9%. Only two countries remain polio-endemic: Afghanistan and Pakistan. We are so close! Right now, all donations are matched 2:1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, tripling your impact!
This is in that spirit; The Rotary Club of Weston and Wayland continue to organize this annual event for the "World Polio Day”. The club is actively inviting all the other clubs in the district to join us in any capacity (guests, volunteers, you name it).
Besides sharing the joy and visibility that will come from the success of this event, many other perks will be offered, discounts for “The Comedy Studio” memberships and shows (https://www.thecomedystudio.com), free entertainment during the event by the band “West of Willow” ( https://www.facebook.com/WestofWillow), and much more!
Please mark your calendar, use this link (https://raise.rotary.org/District7910/fundraiser711) to donate and, reach out directly to the club of Weston and Wayland to register to attend and to volunteer. We are counting on your presence!
Rotary launched PolioPlus in 1985 and was a founding member of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. The eradication polio is one of Rotaries longest standing and most significant efforts. Through decades of commitment and work by Rotary and our partners, more than 2.5 billion children have received the oral polio vaccine. We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won’t stop until we end the disease for good.
