District and International News Founded in 2010 by Past Governor Frank Morehouse of PNW District of Kiwanis International Inspired by a brain cancer patient named Penny
Three Hospitals in the PNW
Why KCCP?
Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland Seattle Children’s Hospital in Seattle British Columbia Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, B.C.
Each year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer and with the help of research, their chances of surviving have tripled. Finding a cure for children’s cancer will benefit all cancer patients worldwide because although research of adult cancers does nothing to help cure children’s cancers, research of children’s cancers can help find a cure for adult cancers.
International News – Eliminate Project
Kiwanis International and UNICEF have partnered to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus, which kills nearly 60,000 babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of this disease are excruciating – tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. Division 26’s Goal: To fundraise $500 by March 1, 2013 for the Eliminate Project So far, we have raised a little over $43!

One winner will be a big school (Chief Sealth, Evergreen, Franklin, Garfield, or West Seattle) and another winner will be a small school (Cleveland, Highline, Mount Rainier, New Start, or Seattle Lutheran)! The prize will still be either a pizza or ice cream party and the winners will be determined by whoever has the most points!
