What is your Club's Polar Plunge fundraising event? Now is the time to complete your End Polio Now event. Pictured here are plungers from Salem Rotary at the Polar Plunge in East Boston hosted by Belle Isle and Parkway Rotary Clubs.
Here are the totals raised as of February 9. These totals reflect what has been sent in to The Rotary Foundation.
1. Beverly, $7,000; 2. Marblehead, $4,500; 3. Reading, $2,725.25; 4. Wilmington, $1,550; 5. Arlington, $1,100; 6. Lynn, $1,000; 7. Rockport, $931; 8. Andover, $550; 9. Ipswich $543.95; 10. Salem, $515.26.
All clubs are asked to organize a local Polar Plunge in their community. Pick any date this winter (i.e. between now and Opening Day at Fenway Park). Plunge any way you want (ocean, dunk tank, swimming pool, jacuzzi, etc.) Be creative to organize another event to raise funds for Polio Eradication.
Our goal is to raise as much money as possible to End Polio Now. Please make sure that you send all the monies that you raised directly to The Rotary Foundation to be credited to the Polio Plus Fund. Our published results will be based on the reports from the Rotary Foundation, so only funds actually sent to the Foundation will be counted for the ranking!
