The Rotary Club of Dubois County participated in World Polio Day on October 24 by teaming up with McDonald’s in Huntingburg, Ferdinand and the two Jasper locations.

Mann Enterprises contributed 20 percent of their Happy Meal proceeds with a $300 donation to Rotary. Additional donations from local members, provided a grand total of $400 to help eradicate polio worldwide.

Every October, Rotary clubs raise funds internationally to reduce polio cases, which are a global threat to children.

“This is our Club’s first time to actively participate in World Polio Day, and having a partner with our local McDonald’s made it a success,” Jim McFaul, Service Project Chair for the local Club, said. “We thank Mann Enterprises for their support of this important project.”
