Rajashree Birla Million Dollar Speech - Rotary International

Back


[http://www.rotary.org] During a ceremony on 21 April at Rotary International headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA, Arch C. Klumph Society inductee Rajashree Birla gave a brief speech. The Rotary senior leaders in the audience expected her to talk about her US$300,000 contribution to The Rotary Foundation , which endows an Ambassadorial Scholarship and supports SHARE. Instead, Birla, of Mumbai, India, focused mostly on polio eradication. As she concluded, the soft-spoken Birla then made an announcement that took everyone by surprise: She is committing an additional $1 million to Rotary's US$100 Million Challenge for polio eradication.
