World largest polio walk 2026! ✔️ What a beautiful day for a good cause in a gorgeous setting! We walked around Lake Arlington which was decorated with end polio now slogans. There was music and face painting, signs and donation buckets, and lots of purple pinkies and wristbands and red End Polio Now shirts.

In total, across District 6440, about 900 Rotary members and friends representing 42 clubs in 39 communities joined the World's Largest Polio Walk and raised money to finish the job.

October 24 is both United Nations Day and World Polio Day—a reminder of how powerful we are when we act together.

Thanks to a global effort, we’ve reduced polio by 99.9% since 1988. The finish line is in sight, but we need continued support, awareness, and action to end it for good.

On this day, honor the power of global cooperation:
✅ Learn more about the fight against polio
✅ Share the story—many still don’t know polio exists
✅ Support global health and vaccination efforts

Together, we can make history—and a healthier future.

It started in 1979, when Rotarians in the Philippines decided to eradicate polio in their country. By 1984, they succeeded. Rotarians worldwide took notice. From there, Rotary took on the challenge of eliminating it worldwide. EndPolioNow.org https://www.facebook.com/reel/28790875050567576

Come join friends and neighbors from Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Palatine and River Cities for a walk around Lake Arlington to help support World Polio Day.

On October 24, World Polio Day, the Rotary Club of Arlington Heights, along with the Rotary Clubs of Buffalo Grove, Palatine and River Cities, will join thousands of Rotary members across eleven states and two countries in the World’s Largest Polio Walk, a coordinated effort to raise awareness and support the global fight to end polio.

As part of this initiative, thousands of Rotary club members, friends and families are expected to participate by organizing and joining walks in their local communities.

The Rotary Club of Arlington Heights will host its local walk at beautiful Lake Arlington on October 24 at 10:00 AM, inviting community members, families, and supporters to take part in this meaningful event.

Rotary has been a leader in the fight to eradicate polio for more than 35 years through its End Polio Now campaign, helping reduce cases worldwide by over 99.9%. Events like the World’s Largest Polio Walk aim to raise awareness and ensure the momentum continues until polio is fully eradicated.

Participants are encouraged to wear Rotary or End Polio Now gear, bring friends and family, and share their experience on social media to help amplify the message.
