💜 PURPLE PINKIES FOR POLIO! 💜
Small pinkies, BIG impact! 🌍
On October 24, in celebration of World Polio Day, the Woodstock Interact Club hosted a special Purple Pinkies for Polio fundraiser at Woodstock High School.
Students, staff, and visitors showed their support by having their pinkies painted purple, enjoying purple Timbits, and purchasing purple bracelets and ribbons, all in support of Rotary’s mission to end polio.
🎉 The incredible result? Enough money raised to vaccinate 1,500 children against polio! 💜
Since the launch of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, polio cases worldwide have decreased by more than 99.9%. Today, wild poliovirus remains endemic in just two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
But the fight isn’t over. Rotary and its partners continue working to protect hundreds of millions of children through vaccination efforts each year.
🌎 As long as polio exists anywhere, children everywhere remain at risk.
👏 A heartfelt THANK YOU to the Woodstock Interact Club, everyone who participated, and all who donated. Your generosity is helping build a world where no child has to suffer from polio.
Together, we can ! 💜
