On Thursday, October 23, the Rotary Club of Lake Forest Park is holding its second annual 'End Polio Now" fundraiser at the Forest Park Bar and Grill from 5 pm to 10 pm.
The fundraiser allows the club to take action to make history by helping to bring the true end to the scourge of polio in the world. Vaccinations in the last three remaining countries will make it safe for all children in the world. Of all diseases, only smallpox has ever been eradicated. With your help, we can make history by ending this disease that has been in existence since at least 1580 B.C.
Partnering with the Bar and Grill of Lake Forest Park, we can fulfill the promise of a true end to the devastation and threat to the last 1% of polio cases everywhere. The last wild polio virus #1, is the most difficult to prevent because it persists in the hardest-to-reach areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria.
The Polio Eradication Strategic plan is estimated to cost US $5.5 billion. Rotary international, in partnership with the Gates Foundation, WHO, UNICEF, and support from governments, NGOs and corporations offer the solution.
The Bar and Grill is dedicating 10% of their proceeds for drink and food for the evening to this event.
We thank them for continuing to demonstrate exemplary corporate citizenship to our community
We invite you to join us for this community dinner. Good friends, good food and a cause to protect all children everywhere.
Lake Forest Bar and Grill is in the upper level of Town Center at the intersection of Ballinger and Bothell Way.
