South Bend Rotary Club hosts nail painting event to raise polio awareness

The Rotary Club of South Bend hosted "Paint Your Pinkies Purple to End Polio" today (Wednesday), painting nails for a good cause.

The event raised awareness and money to help eradicate polio.

Notre Dame women's basketball coach Muffet McGraw was on hand to help paint pinkies.

“It’s all about ‘Can we eradicate this disease across the globe?” said McGraw.

The Rotary Club says it's helped reduce polio cases by 99 percent worldwide since 1979.
