End Polio Now!

Check out the latest from the Festival on the Green event held on May 3rd.

Lots of children queued to have their pinkie finger painted purple to raise much needed money for our End Polio Now Campaign.

St Ives Rotary has launched two major projects to contribute to the world-wide effort to eradicate polio. This crippling disease is a distant memory to most Australians, who have had access to the vaccine for over 50 years. The rate of infection has fallen worldwide from 350,000 per year twenty years ago to about 2,000 last year, through massive immunisation efforts. Completing the job of eradicating polio is the "final inch" of a long journey, as highlighted in a recent award-winning documentary.

End Polio Now

Rotary International has accepted a $200 million challenge grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to complete the polio eradication journey. Our club is sponsoring a major fund-raising dinner to celebrate the successes so far, and to take on the remaining challenge. We are holding a "Bollywood" night on Saturday, 1 August 2009 at the Hornsby RSL. Click here for more details.

Listen to Bill Gates as he talks to Rotarians about his dream to end Polio, and how he is helping Rotary to achieve its goal of eradicating Polio. There are four video clips , see the section on the left under Bill Gates End Polio Now.

We are also launching a "Why end polio now?" contest with local schools to raise awareness amongst today's youth of the need to completely eradicate polio. Students are encouraged to submit a short "YouTube" video explaining their views. Winning videos will be displayed at the fund-raising event in August. Click here for more details.
