Rotary Club of Youngstown will be doing its part to help eradicate polio on Thursday, October 23 by holding its annual Pints vs Polio event at Penguin City Brewing from 4:00 until 7:00 pm.
Here's the math:
+Penguin City will donate $1.00 to Rotary’s Polio Plus Fund for every pint of beer sold that day to commemorate the day!
+The Youngstown Rotary Foundation will match the amount raised, while the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will then match that total amount two for one.
+ With matching contributions, each pint sold equals $6 for the cause and can save 14 lives!
BONUS:
* Youngstown Rotary Beerfest 2026 tickets will go on sale at this event!
* Penguin City will offer FREE pumpkin carving

Through decades of commitment and work by Rotary and its partners, more than 2.5 billion children have received the oral polio vaccine.
