On Tuesday, July 23rd one of our STamp Out Polio/DVSRC members, Thie Convery, attended the Help Rotary Strike Out Polio at the $1 Million Baseball Game (the Pittsburgh Pirates versus the St. Louis Cardinals).
Rotary International President, Stephanie A. Urchick, challenged Rotarians to donate US$10,000 or more, with the first 25 PolioPlus supporters getting an invite to her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to join her and RI General Secretary and CEO John Hewko, in a private suite at the game (graciously donated by Rotarian Bob Brooks).
Other Rotarians, including STamp Out Polio Chair, Frances Manias, joined in to watch Stephanie throw out the opening pitch, while celebrating over a million dollars raised for this initiative.
