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 in the global fight against polio, including the launch of the PolioPlus initiative in 1985 and the establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. The resolution notes that polio cases have decreased by 99.9% since 1988, thanks in part to Rotary's efforts, which have included over $2.6 billion in funding and extensive volunteer work to immunize children worldwide.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes Rotary's ongoing commitment to raising an additional $50 million annually for polio eradication efforts, which will be matched by the Gates Foundation, potentially totaling $450 million. It calls on all citizens to support Rotary International's mission for a polio-free world and acknowledges the organization's broader impact on addressing critical issues such as poverty, disease, and education through its extensive network of over 1.4 million members in more than 46,000 clubs globally.
