Rotary International is bringing the fight to end polio to Yankee Stadium with a special fundraising event on Saturday, May 2 at 1:35 p.m., featuring the New York Yankees vs. the Baltimore Orioles.
The event, part of Rotary’s global “End Polio Now” campaign, aims to raise funds for PolioPlus, a program dedicated to eradicating polio worldwide. For every ticket sold, $25 will be donated directly to the cause, with 100% of those contributions supporting eradication efforts. The Gates Foundation will also match donations at a 2-to-1 rate, significantly amplifying the impact.
Ticket options start at $70 per person and include a limited-edition Yankees x Rotary “End Polio Now” hat. Attendees will not only enjoy a day at the ballpark but also contribute to a global health initiative working to eliminate a disease that once affected millions.
Proceeds from the event will help Rotary and its partners continue their decades-long mission to eradicate polio, bringing the world closer to a polio-free future.
