In 1938 then President Roosevbelt started a benefit for polio called the March of Dimes, still in existence today. Polio vaccine announcement across the countyr to 54,000 physicians on closed circuit TV when the vaccine came out in 1955. That same year Rotary started the Polio Plus campaign. This campaign also helped with fresh water and sanitation projects. It has raised 2 billion dollars world wide for these efforts.
