Timeline – 1985, Rotary launches PolioPlus, celebrates 80 years

With membership on the verge of one million in its 80th year, Rotary launches PolioPlus, a program to protect children worldwide from the cruel and fatal consequences of polio.

By 1988, Rotarians help raise more than US$247 million for the effort. Inspired by this commitment, and with Rotary’s encouragement, the World Health Assembly resolves to eradicate the disease with the goal of freeing the world of polio by 2005, the Rotary Centennial. PolioPlus becomes the first and largest internationally coordinated private-sector support of a public health initiative.
