The funds were raised through a combination of burger and Moosehead beer purchases, a 50/50 draw, and a silent auction. A huge thank you goes out to Celtic Corner for providing a fantastic venue and to Moosehead Breweries for their generous support of the event.
Why Pints for Polio Matters
PolioPlus is Rotary International’s flagship program aimed at eradicating polio worldwide. Since its launch in 1985, Rotary has played a pivotal role in the global fight against this debilitating disease. Events like Pints for Polio help raise both funds and awareness, ensuring that vaccination campaigns, education, and infrastructure continue to reach the most vulnerable populations.
The funds raised at Pints for Polio will be divided evenly among the participating clubs and donated to PolioPlus on behalf of each. Thanks to matching contributions from organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, every dollar raised has an even greater impact in the fight against polio.
A Community Effort
We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and participated in the event. Your contributions are making a difference in the lives of countless people around the world. A special shout-out to the members of the five organizing Rotary clubs for their teamwork and dedication to this important cause.
As we inch closer to a polio-free world, events like Pints for Polio remind us of the power of community and collaboration. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success, and we look forward to raising a pint with you again next year!
