The PolioPlus Society
As a Rotarian and supporter of Polio Eradication, Rotary’s Number One Priority, I wish to participate in the Countdown to History as a member of the
PolioPlus Society of District 5240 Joining the Society is a two-step process.
First: Go to https://formsmarts.com/form/28rk or scan the QR code below to fill out the online form indicating your desire to join the Rotary District 5240 PolioPlus Society.
Until the world is polio-free, every child is at risk.
You will receive a PolioPlus Society certificate, PolioPlus Pin and an End Polio Now Bracelet, which will be presented at a club meeting to make sure you are recognized for your commitment to polio eradication. .
Second: make your donation in one of the ways described below.
To make your tax-deductible donation go to myrotary.org/donate and click on “Polio Fund”. You can choose a one-time donation of $100 or more, or a recurring donation in the amount and frequency of your choice (We suggest $10/month as the “easy way” to become a PolioPlus Society member.) Of course, you can also write a check payable to “The Rotary Foundation”, with PolioPlus in the memo section, and give to your club’s Foundation Chair.
Your contribution also qualifies for Paul Harris Recognition Points and will be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
*Note: our community has an endless number of absolutely critical needs and needs help from our citizens. However, as a Rotary Club we cannot be all things to all people.
