Coffee for Polio Fundraiser

 The Rotary club of London Hyde Park has initiated a fundraising project to help address the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) urgent global appeal to meet the anticipated US$140 million funding gap for 2013. 

Club Secretary, Kevin Webb, stated that “Rotarians started the fight to eradicate Polio and we will be there at the end. Rotarians represent our communities and we want our communities to be free from any future Polio infections. We will do our part.” The Rotary club of London Hyde Park has partnered with the Coastal Coffee Company (http://coastalcoffeecompany.ca/) to implement a “coffee for polio” fundraising initiative to support the GPEI in finishing the job of vaccinating “every last child” against Polio. By purchasing the organic, fair trade freshly roasted coffee Canadians will be helping Rotary's Polio eradication campaign - one cup of coffee at a time.
