Event Photos

Clubs around the world are gathering on October 24th, World Polio Day, to raise awareness and funds to support Rotary International's ongoing mission to eradicate polio worldwide. Join us in Evanston as we celebrate with Rotarians and community members from across Chicagoland.

The event will commence at One Rotary Center, 1560 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, IL in the sunken garden just out front. From there we will proceed on a walk to the Evanston lakefront and back. The distance is just over a mile.
Bring your friends, enjoy the day, and help us stomp out polio once and for all!
