Nearly 2,000 high schoolers from all corners of the Pacific Northwest who share a common passion for service. WELCOME TO DISTRICT CONVENTION. District Convention is the yearly gathering of the Pacific Northwest District of Key Club. Three days, two nights of chanting, learning, growing, and bonding – it doesn’t get any better than that. District Convention is designed to celebrate a year’s worth of service, and to recognize those who have gone above and beyond in serving their homes, schools, and communities. The 66th Annual District Convention will take place from March 13th to March 15th, 2015 at the Washington State Convention Center and Sheraton Hotel in Seattle, WA.

MAJOR EMPHASIS: “Children: Their Future, Our Focus” UNICEF works with the United Nations to help over 150 developing countries to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. Through community service, UNICEF is able to provide healthcare, sanitary water, and education for these children. 1 in 9 babies in America are born mature. The United States has one of the highest rates for premature babies for more developed countries. The March of Dimes funds lifesaving research and programs and works to end premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. Every baby deserves a healthy life. Children’s Miracle Network seeks to battle every type of childhood illness and injury. The money fundraised for the program goes towards research and training, purchasing equipment and paying uncompensated care, in its mission to save as many children’s lives as possible.
