KIWANIS CHILDREN’S FUND
MARCH 2025
JOHN C. HOLLEY, CHAIR, KIWANIS CHILDREN’S FUND
As we continue our quest forward with the Possibility Project, my hope is that, by now, every club and individual in the Georgia District have a basic knowledge about the project.
Just as a refresher, at our International Convention in Denver last summer, the Kiwanis Children’s Fund launched our first ever fundraiser solely supporting the Kiwanis Family and the children we serve. This project is the third time in our organization’s history that we have embarked upon a global fundraising campaign. In 1994, it was the Iodine Deficiency Disorder Project and in 2010 The Eliminate Project. In each of our previous undertakings,
we have exceeded our goals.
For the Possibility Project, the Campaign envisions raising $25 Million US dollars and impacting 10 million kids globally. The campaign will end at the end of the 2027-2028 Kiwanis year.
Since funds raised by your clubs since October 1, 2022, will count toward the totals for your club, we are already well on our way to meeting our goal. To date, the Possibility Project total gifts and pledges are at $6,880,646.27. The Georgia District’s total gifts and pledges are at $247,815.26. It should be noted that both individual and club donations are included in the totals.
Where we are hoping to make our greatest success is to challenge each club to become an Impact Club. With a commitment to give a per member average of $500.00 or more over five years, your club becomes an Impact Club. The recognition your club receives for this extraordinary commitment will hopefully be an inspiration for other clubs and Kiwanians to emulate. There is no greater feeling of joy than to know that you have made a difference in the life of a child or improved the condition in a community.
Indeed, this is the time for your club to act. Children around the world are waiting for you to ensure that their possibilities are made a reality. Every day around the world, children are going hungry, and students are struggling to read. Your club can make things happen. As Kiwanians, it is in our DNA to be out front… “serving the children of the World.”
I AM DEPENDING ON YOU AND SO ARE THE CHILDREN!
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.
