End Polio Now

SCS recently helped the Rotary Club, by wearing purple and collecting donations to help end Polio now. The Rotary Club US is on a quest to raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million supports immunization campaigns in developing countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families. As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk.
