The League City Rotary Club will host it's 9th Annual Polar Bear Plunge for Polio on Saturday, December 11, 2021 at 8:45 AM at the South Shore Harbour Resort unheated pool! In January 2021, the League City Rotary raised over $7,000 towards Rotary International's Polio Plus Campaign which is used to eradicate polio world wide.
Why Eradicate Polio?
To end polio, we must stop transmission of the virus in the three countries where it remains endemic: Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. We must also keep all other countries polio-free until we're certain it won't resurface. Up to 60 high-risk countries still operate large-scale immunization campaigns to protect children against polio.
