How you doin’ NYDKC?

APRIL

My name is Anastasia Ababiy and I am the newly elected Governor for the service year

I can confidently say that this year will be one to remember.

As the district board is working hard to get set up for the year, I personally thank the Key Clubs and K-family for welcoming in their new LTGs and Execs. Your involvement thus far has been outstanding.

For my term, I will be supporting the Arthritis Foundation through my Governors Project This Organization has been progressing the research of arthritis since 1948 As the nation’s #1 cause of disability, arthritis affects nearly 60 million adults and hundreds of thousands of children; one of them being my grandmother

As a District, we have set our service hour goals to be 215,000 hours and a fundraising goal of $200,000.

With that, the votes have been cast! The District project will be Doctors Without Boarders

Let's go New York! Show em what we got!

“The Benjamin N. Cardozo High School Key Club had an awesome time volunteering at the "PanCan Purple Stride" event! With big smiles and tons of energy, the members enthusiastically cheered on and directed all the participants who were running and walking to raise awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research. It was such an uplifting experience being part of this important cause while having a blast with their Key Club friends. The club definitely made a positive impact through their spirited support!”
