Pints for Polio – A Night to Remember!
What a fantastic evening of fellowship, laughter, and purpose! Pints for Polio brought together members from Rotary Clubs across the Niagara District for an evening filled with community spirit and fun — all in support of Rotary’s global mission to eradicate polio.
Hosted at Kame & Kettle Beer Works in Fonthill and organized through the Rotary BREW Fellowship (Beers Rotarians Enjoy Worldwide), the event was a perfect mix of good friends, good beer, and goodwill. Guests enjoyed great conversation, lighthearted games, and the chance to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones — including a few potential future Rotarians!
The atmosphere was filled with teamwork and determination as Rotarians came together to help eradicate a disease, all while enjoying the fellowship and fun that make Rotary events so special. District leaders and club members alike joined forces to raise awareness and funds for End Polio Now, turning one evening of camaraderie into lasting global impact.
Thanks to everyone’s generosity, approximately 400 children will receive the polio vaccine — giving them the gift of a healthy, polio-free future. That’s the power of Rotary in action: fellowship with a purpose.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, donated, or helped make the night possible. Together, we are one pint closer to a polio-free world!
