Rotary Club of Quincy Hosts Annual #EndPolioNow Fundraiser
The Rotary Club of Quincy is holding its sixth annual #EndPolioNow Bourbon & Popcorn fundraiser at the Quincy Boat Club to support the global eradication of polio.
Quincy Hannibal Keokuk, IL, November 6, 2026 — The Rotary Club of Quincy is preparing to host its sixth annual
#EndPolioNow Bourbon & Popcorn fundraiser. The event aims to raise funds and awareness for the global effort to eradicate polio. This year’s gathering is scheduled to take place at the Quincy Boat Club.
The initiative is part of Rotary International’s long-standing commitment to ending polio worldwide. For decades, Rotary members have been at the forefront of the fight against polio, working in partnership with governments and health organizations to immunize children and strengthen surveillance systems in countries where the disease remains a threat.
Polio, a paralyzing infectious disease, has been reduced by 99.9% since 1988, when more than 350,000 cases were recorded in 125 countries. However, the disease still poses a threat in a few parts of the world. Continued efforts are crucial to ensure that no child ever again suffers from this preventable disease.
The Bourbon & Popcorn fundraiser is an annual tradition for the Rotary Club of Quincy, marking its sixth year. The event typically brings together community members for an evening of refreshments and fellowship, with all proceeds directly contributing to the #EndPolioNow campaign. The specific date and time for this year’s event were not provided in the summary.
Details regarding ticket sales, specific activities planned for the evening, or any special guests were not included in the available information. The Rotary Club of Quincy encourages community participation in its efforts to support this vital public health mission.
