Every year the Rotary Club of Middleboro participates in the Indoor Ride to End Polio. All funds raised are matched 2-to-1 by the Gates Foundation in support of Rotary's efforts to eradicate polio from the face of the earth. Thanks to our intrepid team of Rotarians - Sue, our instructor Jodie, Bob, Willy, Matt and Ron - for riding to raise awareness that polio still exists in the world and funds to help Rotary eradicate it.The Indoor Ride to End Polio is a ready-made polio fundraising event open to every Rotary Club, Rotary District and Rotarian in the world. The Indoor Ride is a complement to the Ride to End Polio, a bicycling fundraiser held each November in Tucson, Arizona, USA, in conjunction with El Tour de Tucson, one of the largest perimeter bicycling events in the US. El Tour, organized by Perimeter Bicycling Association of America, annually attracts more than 8,000 cyclists. The Indoor Ride allows Rotarians across the country and around the world to participate without coming to Tucson by riding stationary bikes at home or in a gym, having a ride or walk in your community, or planning a special event such as Putt for Polio (event at mini-golf course), Pints for Polio (a beverage drinking event), etc., with participants collecting donations for Polio Plus.”
