Anthony Wayne Rotary will host the 5K Run or Walk to Eradicate Polio on Saturday, August 16, 2014, at Shoaf Park. Polio is a preventable disease that permanently cripples its victims, mostly children. To raise awareness and funds to fight polio, this event will raise money for Rotary International, the volunteer fundraising arm of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative — a public-private partnership that also includes the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The cost to participate is $15 per person. All proceeds raised go to fight polio and will be matched two-for-one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Registration begins at 7:00 a.m. and walk-in registrations are welcome. A Kids’ Mile Fun Run will begin at 8:10 a.m. The 5K Run begins at 8:30 a.m. Walk-in registrations are welcome.
