Edina Interact Club hosts Skate to End Polio

The Interact Club of Edina High School is planning a "Skate to End Polio" from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, at the West Rink of Braemar Arena, immediately following the 3 p.m. Edina High School varsity boy’s hockey match against rival Eden Prairie. Enjoy open skating with friends and family, along with great music and special lighting just for this Valentine’s day event. 

All ages are welcome! Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for kids, and can be bought the day of the event, or in advance by contacting Edina Rotarian Josh Sprague at josh@joshsprague.com.  

Edina Rotarians can purchase tickets for the event at the Thursday meeting, Feb. 11, from Interact members who will be in attendance. Bring cash to buy tickets to help support this event!

All proceeds go towards Rotary’s End Polio now campaign, which began in 1985 and has raised more than $1.3 billion towards the elimination of this deadly and crippling childhood disease. As of 1985, polio affected 350,000 people in 125 countries. As of 2015, polio had been 99 percent eliminated, with less than 100 cases in only two countries.

The skate-a-thon is sponsored by the Edina Hockey Association, Interact Club of Edina, Rotary Club of Edina, Edina Morningside Rotary Club, and Braemar Arena.

Contact Rotarian Josh Sprague for more information.
