Batavia Rotary Polio Plus Auction Success!
Our Batavia Rotary Polio Plus Auction November 11th was an outstanding success — together, we raised $7,650 in support of Rotary’s fight to end polio worldwide!
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who participated and contributed so generously. At the recent District Conference, we were reminded that each polio vaccination costs $1 for the vaccine plus $2 for research, transportation, and delivery to reach unvaccinated children. With the Gates Foundation’s 2-to-1 match, our club’s efforts last week will help vaccinate an incredible 7,650 children against polio.
Our yearly Polio Plus Auction is always a highlight of the Rotary calendar — and much of that is thanks to Todd Jantzi of Bontrager Auction Group. Todd has been running our auction for years, bringing his trademark energy, humor, and heart, making the event truly unforgettable. We are deeply grateful for his continued partnership in this meaningful mission.
Thank you, Batavia Rotarians, for your dedication and impact in helping eradicate polio.
