Global Health Class to Fundraise for World Polio Day

In honor of World Polio Day, Oct. 24, Global Health students will be tabling to raise money for polio. In 1988, the World Health Assembly passed a resolution to eradicate polio, creating the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Their mission is to ensure that no child anywhere will ever again be paralyzed by any form of poliovirus.

Students from the HLTH 405 class will be tabling from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Oct. 21, 1-3 p.m. Oct. 22 and 1-3 p.m. Oct. 24 in Magruder Hall. They will have baked goods, stickers and a place to donate to help eradicate polio. All donations will be matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Donations can also be made via venmo to @aheitzman22.
