Oskaloosa Rotary’s Rescheduled ‘Pedal For Polio’ Set For Saturday
Pedal For Polio
Registration will occur at the Rotary Gateway Gazebo. Registration for individuals is $15, and for families is $25. Proceeds will go to Rotary International who are working to wipe polio from the face of the earth by providing the polio vaccine ‘drops’ to children in Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan. The vaccine/drops cost 60 cents per child. Fewer than 1700 cases were reported in 2009 so we are very close to ending polio.
Funds raised will be matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Rotary International goal is to raise $200 million to help end polio.
