Together We End Polio! Happy Hour FUNdraiser
Rotary Metro NYC invites us to join Rotary and Rotaract clubs across the city for Together We End Polio!, a happy hour FUNdraiser for World Polio Day. All are welcome — bring friends! Rotary and its partners have immunized more than 3 billion children since 1988, and polio cases are down 99.9% worldwide.

All proceeds go to Rotary's PolioPlus fund. When: Wednesday, October 28, 2026, 6:00–9:00 PM. Where: Slattery's Midtown Pub, 2nd floor main bar, 8 E 36th St, New York, NY 10016. Tickets (food included, cash bar): Early bird: $45 — until October 25, limited quantity General: $55 Day of: $65 Every donation over $20 enters you to win a prize, and every additional $20 earns another entry. Donate when you register, or give over $100 to join the Polio Plus Society with recognition from Rotary International. Registration is handled by Rotary Metro NYC on Humanitix. Refunds are available up to 7 days before the event. #EndPolioNow
