The House Resolution introduced by Representatives Rapp, Zimmerman, and others recognizes October 24, 2025, as "World Polio Day" in Pennsylvania. It highlights the significant contributions of Rotary International, which has been instrumental in the global fight against polio since launching its PolioPlus program in 1985. The resolution notes that polio cases have decreased by 99.9% since 1988, thanks in part to Rotary's efforts, which include raising over $2.6 billion and mobilizing volunteers to protect children in 122 countries. The resolution also mentions Rotary's ongoing commitment to raise an additional $50 million annually for three years, which will be matched by the Gates Foundation, further enhancing the impact of their initiatives.

In addition to recognizing World Polio Day, the resolution encourages all citizens of Pennsylvania to support Rotary International's mission for a polio-free world. It emphasizes the organization's motto, "Service Above Self," and its role in fostering goodwill and humanitarian service globally. The resolution serves to raise awareness about the importance of continued efforts to eradicate polio and the collaborative work being done by Rotary and its partners in the health sector.
