The Perrysburg Rotary Club is putting a fun twist on its weekly meeting on Friday, October 23, 2026, as we raise our glasses, raise awareness, and raise funds in honor of World Polio Day!
World Polio Day, recognized annually on October 24th, is an opportunity for Rotarians around the globe to celebrate the incredible progress made toward eradicating polio while renewing our commitment to finishing the job.
This year, we're bringing a little extra fun to our Friday lunch meeting with Pints for Polio!
Members and guests can expect a different spin on our traditional weekly gathering, with a mix of fascinating polio facts, a little friendly fun, maybe a few prizes along the way, plenty of Rotary fellowship, and opportunities to support Rotary's global mission to END POLIO NOW.
Burgers, Floats & Fellowship!
We're trading our traditional lunch buffet for a fun, casual menu that is sure to make this gathering even more enjoyable!
Our Pints for Polio lunch will feature burgers, hot dogs, warm potato chips, beans, and macaroni salad. And for dessert? We're bringing out the float bar, with Chef Mike manning the station!
And since we're calling it Pints for Polio, we couldn't forget the pints! A cash bar will be available for those who would like to raise a pint in honor of World Polio Day. With proceeds from every pour going directly to the cause!
Not interested in an adult beverage? No problem! Grab a root beer or grape soda from the dessert bar, enjoy a delicious float, and join in the fun. After all, it's not what's in your glass that matters, it's the cause we're raising it for!
Come hungry, bring your Rotary spirit, and get ready for a Friday filled with good food, great fellowship, a few surprises, and an even greater cause!
Bring a Guest & Share the Rotary Experience!
This is the perfect meeting to invite a friend, colleague, or prospective Rotarian! Our Pints for Polio gathering is a wonderful opportunity to showcase one of the things that makes the Rotary Club of Perrysburg so special: our commitment to fellowship, friendship, and service.
With a relaxed atmosphere, great food, a little friendly competition, and plenty of laughs, guests will have the chance to experience firsthand how we bring people together, build meaningful connections, and make a lasting impact in our community and around the world.
Bring a guest, raise a pint, and show them what Perrysburg Rotary is all about!
Why We Raise Our Pints
For more than 35 years, Rotary International has been a driving force in the global effort to eradicate polio. Since launching PolioPlus in 1985, Rotary and its partners have helped reduce polio cases worldwide by more than 99.9%.
But the work isn't finished.
As long as polio exists anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. Through continued education, vaccination efforts, advocacy, and fundraising, Rotarians are working to make polio the second human disease ever eradicated, following smallpox.
Every Dollar Makes a Difference
During our Pints for Polio gathering, we'll highlight how Rotary's PolioPlus Fund supports the fight against polio and how even small contributions can make a lasting impact.
Thanks to the Gates Foundation's 2-to-1 matching commitment, eligible donations to Rotary's PolioPlus Fund can have triple the impact in helping protect children around the world.
Whether you're raising a pint, testing your polio knowledge, enjoying a float from Chef Mike, or making a contribution, every action brings us one step closer to a world without polio.
Good food. Great fellowship. A few prizes. One pint closer to a polio-free world!
Can't join us but still want to make a difference? Support Rotary's global efforts by donating directly to the Rotary PolioPlus Fund.
Together, we can Create Lasting Impact and END POLIO NOW!
