With support from donors, @Rotary and partners immunize over 400 million children every year from polio. Donate to @EndPolioNow on #WorldPolioDay and it will be matched 2-to-1. Triple your impact now: endpol.io/give #EndPolio

A polio-free world is possible, but we can achieve it only by acting together. This #WorldPolioDay, join @Rotary on 24 October and together, we #EndPolio. endpol.io/wpd

Letter to Editor Template

Tips for using templates for letters to the editor:

  • Review the guidelines of the media outlets you’ll send the letter to, and follow the instructions for submitting it.
  • Consider designating one person from your district or region, such as the Rotary public image coordinator or End Polio Now coordinator, to write and submit the letter. This will help prevent any outlets from receiving too many similar letters from Rotary members.
  • Personalize the letter. Include actions that you or your club or district have taken, or will take, to support polio eradication.
