The Knoxville Rotary Club held an End Polio Dinner January 25th at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.

The event was catered by Central College, and there was a silent auction for Rotary gift baskets and a wine raffle. 

Knoxville Rotary President Jake Hughes tells KNIA/KRLS News “The Gates Foundation has pledged to triple any donations that we have to end polio through Rotary. So, whatever the Knoxville Rotary Club raises, one dollar becomes three dollars out of that total.”

Over 40 individuals were in attendance. Proceeds will be donated to the End Polio Campaign. A final dollar total is still being added up, according to Hughes.
