Kenmore Rotary and Kenmore East Interact team up to End Polio Now!On Tuesday, November 18, the Rotary Club of Kenmore and the Kenmore East Interact Club were proud to partner for the annual Purple Pinkie Project at Edison Elementary School, raising $425 to help End Polio Now.
This $425 will be matched by the Rotary Club of Kenmore for a total of $850 donated to the PolioPlus Fund and then matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation!
When a child receives the polio vaccine, their pinkie finger is temporarily marked with purple dye signifying that they have received their vaccine.
By contributing, the elementary students are educated on polio awareness and help us fund these life-saving vaccines and get us one step closer to a polio-free world!
