KIWANIS CHILDREN’S FUND JUNE 2024
JOHN C. HOLLEY, CHAIR, KIWANIS CHILDREN’S FUND
In about a month (3-6 July 2024), many of us will be attending the International Convention (ICON) in Denver. During our annual gathering, we will hear from some of the most compelling voices in the world on topics that matter to the Kiwanis family. This is our chance to get ideas, meet new friends, and get updates on what is happening at Kiwanis International and at the Kiwanis Children’s Fund.
Some of you may have heard that the Kiwanis Children’s Fund will launch our first-ever fundraiser solely supporting the Kiwanis family and the children we serve. During the Convention, we will discover what is possible, as we kick-off the “Possibility Project.” The campaign envisions raising $25 Million US dollars and impacting 10 million kids globally. The duration of the campaign will be for a period of 5 years. Know that any contribution that your club has made since October 2022 will count toward the totals for your club. Hixson Fellowships and other awards of recognition will count for your club’s contributions. The campaign will include both club and individual contributions. The organization for the campaign will be similar to what we used during The Eliminate Project. We will need “all hands-on deck”; so, I will be contacting you for leaders to guide each of our divisions or designated areas of responsibility during the duration of the campaign. After returning from ICON, I will be reaching out to you. Don’t forget, “Kids Need Kiwanis.”
There is a saying that, “The speed of the boss is the speed of the crew.” You can become a “Boss” in the Georgia District by becoming an advocate for the Kiwanis Children’s Fund and make an annual gift to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund and motivate others to do the same. By doing this, you are fulfilling our motto of “Serving the Children of the World.”
As you are aware, one of Governor Brent’s 6 Georgia District Sponsored Projects is that each club makes a minimum donation of $5.00 per club member to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund. I have been tracking the progress of our clubs and would like to take this opportunity to thank the clubs that have already met or exceeded the requirement…Job well done!
For the clubs that have not made your contributions, there is still time for you to complete the task before the end of the administrative year. Make your club “distinguished,” and you will help make the Georgia District the pacesetter for Kiwanis International.
Kiwanis is about service. So, let’s celebrate that every day is a great day to be a Kiwanian.
As always, as your District Chair, I am your resource for all matters relating to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund. USE ME! My contact information is [email protected] or by phone at (678) 481-7572.
LET US BE A “F.O.R.C.E.” FOR KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL!
