On 24 October, Rotarians clubs and districts around the world will come together to fight polio. Register today for our End Polio Now: Make History Today Livestream event to receive a global update on the current status of polio eradication, hear inspiring stories, and musical performances. The event will begin at 18:30pm CDT and will be streamed live at endpolionow.org.
I encourage your club/district to have a viewing party for the event, or incorporate it into your existing World Polio Day plans. Invite local government officials and use this opportunity to encourage them to support the global commitment to a polio free world. On World Polio Day, wear your End Polio Now pin and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Resources to help you spread the word about your World Polio Day event can be found onendpolionow.org. The materials include:
