Hello Cal-Nev-Ha Leaders,
Happy June! I’m pleased to be joining the Kiwanis Children’s Fund team as the Development Officer for Regions 4 & 5, and look forward to working with
you. Attached is your latest district giving report. This report reflects gifts and pledges processed as of May 23, 2017. Be sure to click the May tab at the bottom of the page to view the latest report.
Your work is getting noticed.
The Lancet, one of the world’s oldest and best known medical journals, recently
published a study which has revealed a sharp drop in the number of babies dying due to maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT), a success due in large part to the efforts of Kiwanis,
UNICEF and UNICEF’s many generous partners.
UNICEF calls the progress since the launch of the Eliminate Project “stunning.” Between 2010 and 2015, the number of babies dying annually from
MNT has dropped by more than 40 percent, from 58,000 to 34,000. For the first time ever, it is estimated that less than 100 newborns die each day from tetanus.
As wonderful as this new is, mothers and babies are still dying needlessly from this horrible disease. We must fulfill our pledges so that UNICEF can
fund the immunizations that will make MNT a thing of the past.
We’re about to start some of the busiest months in the Kiwanis year. Now is the time to make plans to build on these milestones to save and protect lives
through The Eliminate Project. Use the buildup to and news from international convention to remind clubs and individuals that Kiwanis is truly an international organization serving children all over the globe. Make plans now to attend your district convention
where you can present news about our life-saving efforts and ask specific clubs to make specific commitments. Encourage clubs to make year-end gifts to The Eliminate Project—honoring current or past leaders is a great way to recognize individuals with gifts
that save lives.
Thanks for all of your hard work!
Best,
Clark
