Resources about polio eradication efforts

Rotary International offers several tools to help Rotarians let others know about what's happening in the battle to eradicate polio. 

Many people are unfamiliar with Rotary's polio eradication efforts -- or that polio even still exists. Get the word out that if we don't eradicate polio now, the risk of deadly and crippling polio outbreaks will continue to threaten the world's children. Visit the volunteering and raising awareness Web page in the polio section of Rotary's Web site for a list of resources. 

These resources include: 

• End Polio Now newsletter
• End Polio Now promotional pin
• Links to DVDs, brochures, and posters on polio eradication 

Also on Rotary's Web site find: 

• Ideas for challenge grant fundraisers
• A video of Bill Gates making an announcement about the challenge grant
• How to contribute to The Rotary Foundation and its polio eradication efforts
• Donate US$5 to polio via text message 
• Read Global Outlook -- Focus on Polio, November 2008

You also can use The Rotary Foundation's End Polio Now cause page on Facebook to get others involved. And you can help raise awareness by becoming a fan of Rotary on RI's official Facebook page.
