PolioPlus, the most ambitious program in Rotary International's history, is the volunteer arm of the global partnership dedicated to eradicating polio. The Innsbrook Rotary Club is proud to be a part of this highly successful initiative.

 

For more than 20 years, Rotary has led the private sector in the global effort to rid the world of this crippling disease. Today, PolioPlus and its role in the initiative is recognized worldwide as a model of public-private cooperation in pursuit of a humanitarian goal.

 

In addition to providing financial and volunteer support, Rotary works to urge support from other public and private sector partners. This includes the campaign to End Polio Now, inspired by the extraordinary challenge grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
