SHANG MOVIE FUN

SEPTEMBER

“The Shang Chi Movie Fundraiser was my first ever Key Club event I’ve gone to and as a freshman, it was definitely an experience to remember. The key club community among the participating schools made me feel very welcome and I loved the interactions between everyone. I participated to hang out with my fellow Harrisites, meet new people, and start off my THHS experience with a blast of a Marvel movie. 10/10 would do it again.”

Bayside, Cardozo, and Townsend Harris Key Clubs collaborated together to present a Shang Chi Movie Fundraiser! What better chance to bond with your fellow Key-Clubbers than watching a movie together? Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. All proceeds were donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand, a charity dedicated to changing the lives of children with cancer through funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer.

Volunteers joined the Relay For Life movement dedicated to helping communities fight cancer.

There were countless games and activities set up at the event which members participated in to win prizes as well!

RELAY FOR LIFE IS ONE OF THE BEST EVENTS A KEY CLUB MEMBER CAN ATTEND EACH YEAR. ALTHOUGH THE TRACK WASN'T AVAILABLE THIS YEAR, THE PEOPLE THAT HELD THE EVENT MADE IT JUST AS ENJOYABLE WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF ACTIVITIES AND GAMES LIKE THE TREASURE HUNT, SIMON SAYS, CATEGORIES, ETC. I REGRET NOT ATTENDING IT FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY LOOK FORWARD TO ATTENDING IT EVEN AFTER I GRADUATE. - AFWAN MAHMOOD (CLASS OF 2022)

I am delighted that I was chosen as the Key Clubber of the Month for September 2021. I joined Key Club in my freshmen year, but I hate to admit I wasn’t that active. This year I became more active in the club, since it was virtual and I had a lot of spare time in my hands. I’m glad I did.

I found myself making really nice memories, and I was able to reconnect with my friends after a long virtual year.

My first ever and favorite Key Club event was Light the Night. I was able to spend time with my friends, and showed support for those who suffered from leukemia. I love Key Club, because it gave me a way to connect better with the community. There are so many opportunities to learn a skill, and experience something new. The club made me realize there are multiple ways to help our community, and the club guided me to become a more active member in our community. I encourage you to join Key Club! You will meet amazing people, have fun, help our community, and gain volunteer hours. I can’t wait to see what Key Club has in store for us this year!
