Division Car wash TIFFANY BENAVIDES / QUARTZ HILL HIGH SCHOOL I had so much fun at the Division car wash! I got to meet new people from the other schools in our division. I didn’t even know how much of an impact Key Club had on other kids in our area! It was a great experience to participate in such a simple fundraiser like a car wash yet helping such a fantastic cause. Who knew it would have been that much fun? I’m excited for future events and hope to bond with even more Key Clubbers from our division!

APPLEBEE’S BREAKFAST FUNDRAISER EVA BELZIL / QUARTZ HILL HIGH SCHOOL My experience with Key Club at the Applebee’s fundraiser was awesome! I was able to work together with fellow members and serve my community at the same time while serving customers breakfast. I didn’t realize how fun it was to participate in these events while raising money for a good cause, in this case, the Pediatric Trauma Program! The fundraiser has definitely encouraged me to become more involved with Key Club in our community!

RELAY For life
ALEXANDRA JONASSEN / LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL I had an awesome time at last month’s DCM, Relay For Life! I have always wanted to participate in the replay and this was my first time. It was a lot of fun being able to walk and talk with old friends around Highland High School's track for such a good cause. It was inspiring to hear the sad, but hopeful stories of families whose lives have been changed by cancer. It encouraged me to keep serving my home, school, and community through Key Club. I hope to participate in next year’s relay! 9

PTP
Pediatric Trauma Program
WHAT IS PTP? PTP stands for the Pediatric Trauma Program. Pediatric Trauma otherwise known as unintentional injury is the leading cause of death among children ages 14 and under in the United States. Most children die from unintentional injury than from any other diseases combined.
WHAT IS THE GOAL OF PTP? The reason why we raise money for PTP is because it will benefit the children; 90% of unintentional injuries can be prevented!
WHERE DOES THE MONEY FUNDRAISED GO TOWARDS? The money raised goes towards the training of pediatric doctors, nurses, and first responders. The funds raised for this program will also help to purchase the much needed pediatric equipment.

Like any organization, Key Club needs money to function at all levels. Both the District and International levels need money for their board meetings and conventions to help promote the core values in our future leaders as well as expose them to leadership opportunities from a young age. Dues also provide Key Clubbers with the opportunity to fundraise for projects such as The Eliminate Project and work with global organizations such as UNICEF.
