"Pin Down Polio" event raises money to help eradicate polio.
 
 
Area Rotary clubs gathered on Wednesday, October 23, the night before World Polio Day,  at Vista Lanes in Yorkville to help raise money to fight polio.
 
Led by Stephen Turnbull (Rotary Club of Utica) and Steve Karboski (North Utica- Whitestown Rotary), over 50 bowlers and guests were involved in the second annual ‘Pin Down Polio’ event.
 
They helped to raise $1,814; and thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which matches $2 for every $1 raised, that total increased to $5,442.00 towards polio eradication.
