The EliMiNaTe Project The Eliminate Project, or Eliminate (for short), is a worldwide organization aspiring to ELIMINATE maternal and neonatal tetanus from the face of the planet! Each vaccination for the cure costs a mere US$1.80. The Eliminate Project is currently the Kiwanis Preferred Charity, meaning we teamed up with Eliminate and are striving to support their cause. Kiwanis has set a fundraising goal of $110 million dollars by the end of 2015, which will virtually pay for all of the vaccinations needed to vaccinate the entire world! As a District, we have set a fundraising goal of $25,209 by DCON 2015! That is a simple average of US$9 per member! As of Oct. 16, The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis’s global campaign for children, in partnership with UNICEF, has raised a grand total of US$71,517,311.40 vaccinating over 39,731,839 mothers and their future babies. As a Key Club, your number one fundraising focus of this year should be for the Eliminate Project. If you have any questions about Eliminate, contact our RMD Eliminate Chair Karalee Kothe at eliminatechair.kkothe@gmail.com.
Together, we can ELIMINATE MNT!
