Pints for Polio Results

Congratulations to Joel Thomas and Chris Raven for an outstanding event!  244 people signed up in total (vs. 180 last year), with gross proceeds around $12,000.  Net should be about $10,000.  With the 2 to 1 match from the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, that means a contribution to Polio Plus of about $30,000!
