A Film to Support END POLIO NOW
Join us on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 5:25 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre for an enlightening evening to commemorate World Polio Day.
The film – “Breathe” – which is based on the true story of Robin Cavendish, who became paralyzed from the neck down by polio at the age of 28, will be presented, followed by a Q&A hosted by Past Rotary International President Jennifer Jones.
The event will be a part of the Windsor International Film Festival (WIFF). WIFF is one of the fastest-growing cultural events in Southwestern Ontario. See attached for more information.
Ticket Information:
Tickets are $19.00/adults and $13.00/youth, available through the WIFF website or box office (101 University Ave. W.)
The goal of our event is to raise awareness and funds as part of World Polio Day. World Polio Day is a time for Rotary members, public health advocates, and all who want a world free from polio to come together, recognize our progress in the fight to end polio. All money raised with donations is matched 2:1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, so the impact is tripled.

Do you have space that they can borrow?
