World Polio Day is almost here, and the Grayling Rotary Club is inviting clubs across our District to join us in making one more big push toward a world without polio.
 
This year, Grayling Rotary has two World Polio Day fundraising events:
 
Pints for Polio – Thursday, October 22 | 6:00–9:00 PM
Join us at Paddle Hard Brewing in Grayling for food, fellowship, craft beer, and specialty polio-themed cocktails. A portion of drink sales will benefit Rotary’s PolioPlus Fund.
 
The Long Day Around – Friday, October 23
Fifteen riders have already committed to an approximately 13-hour motorcycle endurance ride around northern Michigan.
 
Our route will take us from Grayling to Lake Huron, north along the shoreline to Mackinaw City, with a possible Mackinac Bridge crossing to St. Ignace. From there, we’ll follow the Lake Michigan shoreline south to Arcadia before turning east and heading home to Grayling.
 
One Day. One Cause. End Polio.
 
YOU RAISE THE FUNDS. WE’LL RIDE THE MOTORCYCLES.
 
We have challenged each of our 15 riders to raise $500 for PolioPlus. Our group even includes a 16-year-old junior from Grayling High School who has committed to taking on the entire ride and fundraising challenge.
 
Now we’re extending that challenge to you.
 
If your club does not already have a World Polio Day fundraiser planned, we challenge your club to raise $500 and join our effort.
 
Roscommon Rotary has already answered the call, committing to the Long Day Around and raising more than $1,000!
 
Your club can raise the funds however you choose, and your club receives the credit for the PolioPlus funds it raises. We’ll provide the motorcycles, the miles, and probably a few frozen fingers.
 
If our route takes us through or near your community, we would love to stop, meet your members, take a photo, and recognize your club’s contribution through our social media and LIVE 100.3 FM radio broadcasts and stream.
 
You’ll also be able to track the riders LIVE throughout the day. A tracking link will be released the morning of October 23.
