Thanks to everyone who came to our fist annual Pints for Polio Event at the Rockford Brewing Company.
We were able to collect $620 dollars which will be matched by the Gates Foundation 2:1 in the fight against polio. Through the generosity of our sponsor and evening host, Rockford Brewing Company and direct donations, we will be able to vaccinate 620 children against this disease. Each vaccination costs approximately $3.00 to administer. There are only two countries in the world, Afghanistan and Pakistan, that still report wild polio cases so we are close to eradicating this disease. |
