The Gates Foundation is currently matching all Rotarian Raised Polio Donations $2 for each $1 Contributed (Up to $35Mil/Yr.)
Our Rotary-wide 2016-17 Rotary Year Polio Fundraising Goal is
 $45 Million + the Gates Foundation Match
This year, Rotarians have raised $37.8 Million toward our $45 Million PolioPlus Fundraising Goal for the 2016-17 Rotary Year.
 
Please consider making an additional personal, Club, or District DDF donation to the PolioPlus Fund of The Rotary Foundation this coming week to help us reach our goal.
 
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could announce that we have made our $45 Million PolioFundraising Goal when Bill Gates takes the podium at the Rotary International Convention on Monday, June 12, 2017?
