Change for a Cause Key Clubbers collect change for the ELIMINATE project Baseball boys running up the stands, students digging in their backpacks for lose change, sixty seconds on a clock ticking away. These are just some of the thrills that come with each miracle minute. During the pep rallies that the Burleson High School has had during the 2014-2015 school year there has been a full minute dedicated to collecting as much change as possible. The Burleson Key Club has used this change collected, during these few minutes, as donations to the ELIMINATE project. The goal for the ELIMINATE project is to completely rid the world of neonatal and maternal tetanus. The K-Family goal is to raise $100 million before the end of 2015. The Burleson High School Key Club is committed to helping achieve this goal. On September 26 the Key Clubbers only raised $36.00. This was the first miracle minute of the year. With each pep rally the donations just seemed to climb higher and higher. The largest amount that the Key Clubbers raised in one minute was from the October 10 Miracle Minute, where they raised over $200.00. All in all, the Burleson High School Key Club has been able to collect a little over $500.00 from all of the Miracle Minutes. This is fantastic for only five minutes of time.
