SARATOGA SPRINGS — Keller-Williams Realty holds its annual Red Day, a nationwide volunteer effort to improve communities.  David K. Tomney and fellow Malta Business Associates members join together to rehad the Shelters of Saratoga in May of 2011.  Each year Keller WIlliams associates and supporters come together to better the community.

On New Year’s Day, as the hardy “polar bears” gathered at the edge of Lake George to jump into the frosty water, among them were 20 area Rotarian “Polio Bears” (including David K. Tomney) who’d raised $25,000 for PolioPlus Partners, a program of Rotary International. Since 1988, when its polio eradication efforts began, Rotary International has been a spearheading partner in the fight to end the disease. Before the campaign to eliminate polio, about 1,000 children a day were paralyzed by this terrible disease. These children were left to a life of struggle and disability, and often of social stigma. Today, only four countries are still polio-endemic, and annual cases of polio paralysis are down to about 1,000 a year.

Rotarians have responded to the call for help, raising more than $600 million to support polio eradication in 122 countries. They’ve saved the lives of thousands of children through the polio vaccine and the vitamin supplements distributed with it.
