Major Emphasis

Children’s Miracle Network CMN is an international non-profit organization that raises funds for children's hospitals, medical research and community awareness of children's health issues.

Service Project Ideas:

Host a spa day. Give manicures and pedicures and do their hair and makeup. Collect books to donate. Bring the books and read to the children. Around Halloween, see if the hospital offers a trick or treat program there. If

not, start your own! Find a therapy animal program and bring a therapy animal to bring smiles to

the children’s faces. Do you play an instrument? Sing? Playing a little concert for the children will

be a great hit! If you cannot interact with the children, see if the hospital needs help with

filing or working the gift shop. Just visit! Visitors make these children so much happier, especially when their

own family might not be able to be with them.

March of Dimes March of Dimes is an international non-profit organization that helps mothers and babies with research on pregnancies. Their main event is March for babies where all

pledges support your community and funds research for babies. Service Project Ideas:

UNICEF The United Nations Children’s Fund is one of Key Club’s preferred charities. We highly suggest doing projects with UNICEF such as Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. 90.4 cents from every dollar raised goes towards helping children around the world. UNICEF’s goal is to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. In more than 190 countries they are active and helping children. This is the link to an informational video on UNICEF. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmy9MpwyKnQ Service Project Ideas:
