Six dollars will save the lives of 10 children,” said Andrew Franklin, president of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford.

The campaign supports immunization in developing countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families. As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.
This movie night is a fundraiser to help Rotary achieve a polio-free world. “You will save lives that night,” said Franklin. The drive-in takes place on site at the Abbotsford News, 34375 Gladys Ave. A giant screen will be set up in front of the building and cars can park in the grassy
