$18,800 Raised for Polio Plus

With the generosity of our members, and help from several matching 

donations, our club was able to raise $18,800 to help eradicate polio in a matter of minutes.  At 60 cents for each dose of the polio virus vaccine, the amount represents 31,333 lives that will be saved from the ravages of this paralyzing and/or deadly disease.  Here's how it worked:

$150 collected by Sgt. at Arms and blue cup collection
$150 donated by Don Sangster
$300

$250 donated by Annie LaCroix after matching to $250
$550

$1000 donated from club funds
$1550

$1550 donated by Bryan Noyd after matching total club donation
$3100

$3100 donated by Wenatchee Club (President Jim Russell) after matching the new total
$6200

$12,600 donated by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation after 2:1 match
$18,800 TOTAL

That means for every one dollar a member donated, $18.80 was generated (31 lives saved).
