SAVE THE RAIN BY THE CLOVERDALE KEY CLUB
WHAT IS SAVE THE RAIN? • SAVE THE RAIN IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS BRING CLEAN WATER TO COMMUNITIES THAT DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER. • WITH A MERE $15, YOU CAN HELP FAMILIES IN AFRICA RECEIVE THE GIFT OF CLEAN DRINKING WATER FOR A LIFETIME.
• ALL FUNDS RAISED GO TO THE COMMUNITIES…NOT TO ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS • THEY USE LOCAL MATERIALS TO BUILD RAIN CATCHMENT SYSTEMS WITH THE HELP OF THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS
• THIS IS ALSO OUR CLUB’S COMPETITIVE SERVICE PROJECT FOR THE 2018-19 KEY CLUB YEAR!!!!!
GOALS FOR THE PROJECT • TO FUNDRAISE $6,000
• WE ARE PLANNING A JOINT COMMUNITY-WIDE EVENT WITH OUR KIWANIS CLUB. WE’RE DOING A “MOVIE NIGHT” AT THE LOCAL THEATER, WITH FOOD AND BEVERAGES AND COSTUMES AND MORE! • TO HOPE TO GET OTHER CLUBS INVOLVED SUCH AS: OTHER KIWANIS, OUR LOCAL BUILDERS CLUB, ROTARY, AND INTERACT CLUB, AND LIONS CLUB.
WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED SO FAR… • WE’RE HOLDING COMMITTEE MEETINGS, EVEN DURING THE SUMMER. AT OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS, WE DISCUSS PLANS FOR: • FUNDRAISING AT SCHOOL • BUSINESS SPONSORSHIPS • WORKING ON LOCAL BUSINESSES
• MAJOR EVENTS COMMITTEE • PLANNING A MOVIE NIGHT AND MUCH MORE!
THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR TO THIS PROJECT • IN 2017-18 WE ALSO SPONSORED THIS PROJECT. • DURING THAT TIME WE FUNDRAISED AND SENT OFF A $6000 DONATION TO THE CAUSE. THE FOLLOWING IS A BREAKDOWN OF HOW WE MANAGED TO RAISE A PORTION OF THAT AMOUNT:
THE REST OF THE $6000 CAME FROM THE FOLLOWING SOURCES: • WE TOOK CLUB FUNDS TO ENSURE THAT OUR PORTION CAME TO $3250. • OUR LOCAL BUILDERS CLUB FUNDRAISED AND GAVE US $750. • OUR LOCAL KIWANIS CLUB SUPPORTED US WITH $2000
• IT WAS A JOINT EFFORT!
CAN WE DO ANOTHER $6000 THIS YEAR? • WE BELIEVE SO.
• IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS AFTER DISTRICT CONVENTION 2018, WE FUNDRAISED OVER $1200! MOST OF THOSE FUNDS CAME FROM A DRAWING WE HELD FOR A TRIP FOR TWO PEOPLE TO GO TO DISNEYLAND. OUR CLUB PAID THE $410 COST OF THE TICKETS, BUT WE MADE ALMOST $3000 ON THE DRAWING, SOME OF WHICH WENT INTO OUR FIRST YEAR DONATION, AND SOME INTO THIS YEAR’S DONATION.
WISH US LUCK!
