Help eradicate polio worldwide
OGUNQUIT, Maine — Join the Ogunquit Playhouse for a performance of "A Chorus Line" on Rotary Night as the Playhouse teams up with Rotary to help eradicate polio.
On Wednesday, June 3, the Ogunquit Playhouse will donate a portion of each ticket sold to local Rotary clubs to benefit this cause. Rotary's goal is to raise more than $5,000 on this night.
The evening begins with thingytails and hors d'oeuvres at 6:30 p.m. in the Gazebo Garden tent, show time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $47 per person.
The evening is being jointly sponsored by the York, Kittery, South Berwick and Ogunquit Rotary clubs.
York Hospital is also an event sponsor and will be making a donation to the local Rotary polio efforts.
By attending this performance, participants will help Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The resulting $555 million will fund immunization campaigns in the four remaining polio-endemic countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze both children and adults.
