Rotary District 5240, the Rotary Passport Club of the Central Coast and the Cal Poly Women’s Basketball Team are teaming up in early January for a weekend of special activities to focus on Rotary International’s polio eradication program called Polio Plus, its number one humanitarian effort. Events will include a Farmers’ Market Booth on Thursday, January 10th, featuring the representatives from the Mustangs and Rotary informational displays. The “main event” will take place on Saturday, January 12th at 2:00pm, when the Cal Poly Women’s Basketball Team hosts the UC Santa Barbara Lady Gauchos and special Rotary Polio Plus programs and exhibits. These activities will help enlightening the general public and raise funds for this great humanitarian cause.
There will be various ways to donate to Polio Plus during the game including a half time free throw shoot off by fans. The Cal Poly Athletic Department will provide prizes for those that make a bucket! General admission tickets are available in advance or at the door and cost $9 for adults, $7 for senior/staff and $5 for youth. Rotarians and their guests will be offered tickets for only $5 in advance or at the door. Cal Poly Rotaract Students will be admitted for free.
