This mission is about leaving a leagacy - one baby at a time, that we wish we could have back. One baby you wish you could help survive prematurity is our focus. Baseball for Babies has no CEOs. This is a PEOPLE's charity. Our end goal is to have a National Baseball for Babies Day, celebrated throug-out all 30 Major League Baseball Teams. That's not to say it is a baseball-ony charity. We have had help from many other partners, as well. We donate every dollar, 100% of the proceeds, to help the babies, their parents and for research to eventually save 100% of the babies. |

Come hear and inspiring story that will be sure to bring you to tears. Samantha Gower is a triple amputee that will be participating in our Katy Triathlon. Samantha is an ICU nurse and was expecting a third child 7 months ago, when complications arose. Unfortunately, the baby did not live and Samantha had both of her legs and her left hand be amputated due to the medications that helped her survive. Sam is back to enjoying life with her family after rehabilitation and has the most astounding outlook on life as she will compete in IRONMAN.
Her goal is to push her limits and enjoy the sport! There have been a handful of male amputees in IRONMAN, it's time the bilateral amputee ladies are represented! She has received her "walking legs" and is eagerly awaiting her "running."
The Katy Triathlon will be her first competition so come out and cheer her and other athletes on this Sunday, September 5.

Polio Plus Program
Oct. 07, 2021
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year. |
