Come enjoy Rotary fellowship and help with the End Polio Now campaign when the Norfolk Tides plays the Louisville Bats on Thursday, May 3 at 6:35 P.M. Tickets cost $13 and $2.50 from each ticket will go to Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign. Each $2.50 contribution from the ticket sales will be matched by a $5 contribution from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The game was moved up this year to avoid the summer heat and it will be a great evening with Rotary families.
Bill McInnis has arranged to have tickets for sale at our May 1 lunch meeting to help us avoid the Will Call line. You do not need to order in advance but please thank Bill for avoiding Will Call and pay him for the number of tickets you want when you see him at the May 1 lunch meeting.
Rotary took on the End Polio Now campaign in 1986. That year there were 350,000 people infected by polio, a crippling and potentially deadly disease. Along with Rotary’s partners, more than 2.5 billion children have been immunized in 122 countries. Polio has been reduced by 99.9%.
