The St. Clair Rotary Club has raised $20,250 to help fight polio worldwide, thanks to the leadership of local couple Diane and Jim Ives. The two hosted fundraising dinners at their St. Clair home, welcoming 35 guests. Donations of $6,750 were tripled through the Gates Foundation match. The funds will go directly to vaccines and programs aimed at eradicating polio, which still affects children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Rotary International has led the global fight against polio for over 35 years, helping reduce cases by 99.9%.
