Key Club Case Study

It is an anti-bullying club at our school. We talk to the elementary kids about bullying and other things that go along with that. We were able to hold a food drive, coat drive and money drive that have been very impactful to the community. We also were able to go to the salvation army a couple of times to help them during the holidays. Rachel’s Challenge is something that I am very proud to be apart of because it helps kids everyday.

Each year, students orchestrate THON, a Penn State student-led philanthropic organization that raises money for Four Diamonds and Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. Throughout the year, students coordinate fundraisers and a 46-hour dance marathon to cover costs that insurance companies will not cover and attain funding for pediatric cancer research. At Penn State, I intend to be a part of this phenomenal organization. Within THON, I plan to continue my leadership through becoming a committee member. Fundraising is an essential component in any kind philanthropic organization; therefore, participating in canning weekends, becoming a committee member, and raising money. All of the money raised through THON benefits Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital for groundbreaking research in pediatric oncology and medical support for families battling this devastating disease. Over the past 40 years, THON has raised over $127 million dollars to find a cure for pediatric cancer, the leading cause of fatal disease in children, which will impact the lives of those dealing with the effects of cancer and improve the overall quality of life for the

Because this would be a charity event, there had to be a foundation or cause that all the profits would go to. It should be something that the people of Conant and surrounding areas could connect with and would be willing to donate to. If it is for a cause that the people believe in, more people would come to support the event, regardless if they are interested in the run itself or not. They would be willing to pay more for tickets if they knew that the money would be going to a cause that is near to their hearts. At first, the JDRF, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, seemed like a good place to donate to. This was because there are quite of few people at Conant who have juvenile diabetes and the annual JDRF walk would be the next day, so it could be a good way to join this event to the cause and promote the walk. But soon after learning about an eighth grade boy who goes to Mead Junior High has brain cancer, I wanted to help and thought that this was a good cause to support. The eighth grader, Alex, is from this area and would have been a student at Conant. There are many people in this area that would support this event because it is a part of the community and they would want to help out. There are two main charities that helped this cause. The Be Positive Foundation, helps kids with pediatric cancer and raises money to provide financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer. And at

Wendy Zinn was smart as she took advantage of the many programs the YMCA offered to employees.Zinn is shown to have the desire to be part of a community that was committed to change the lives of others (Ladge, Ingois, McNett, 2012). Through hard work and dedication to the mission of the YMCA and the values of honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring, Wendy was able to climb through the ranks of the corporation (Ladge et al., 2012). Wendy admitted to no prior experience with childcare when the new East Boston site was being planned. However, others faith in her abilities from her work in the central branch earned her the respect she needed to be promoted to the position of Executive Director of the East Boston YMCA. The acquisition of her

I’m part of Riverside’s 4th district Youth Advisory Council. The council enhances the community by identifying issues related to the public and working closely with government supervisors. We worked at one event called Baseball Buddies. At Baseball Buddies, disabled children are paired with a teenager, who would assist their “buddy” in a baseball game for several weeks.

As vice president of my school's NHS chapter, I am an advocate for good causes. Our service project this year is a substantial charitable endeavor. In 1996, a fellow NHS member and friend lost a sibling to SIDS. To assist his family's fight for a cure, our chapter initiated a fundraiser. Tee-shirt sales raised thousands of dollars; a ceremony at a football game advertised our cause to the community; our slogan “Big Steps for Baby Steps” galvanized the school; a partnership with the CJ Foundation for SIDS legitimized our efforts with sponsors. Each of the school's clubs and teams has dedicated itself to the cause. A 5k in May is our culminating event. Uniting an entire school and community behind such a worthy cause is gratifying. The other

Give time by volunteering at City of Hope's main medical center in Duarte, California, or at one our fundraising offices around the nation.

They contributed over $1,000,000 to support our mission this fiscal year. In October 2014 we jointly hosted the first Triangle Meals on Wheels Golf Tournament with the Meals on Wheels programs of Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Durham. This was a great opportunity to raise awareness for our three programs that collectively feed 2,000,000 seniors every week day. When an unfortunate blast of winter weather caused us to cancel our Fat Tuesday Gala, we were able to turn the auction into a successful online event and we raised funds to purchase over 18,000 meals. Mark your calendars for February 9, 2016! The Fat Tuesday Gala will be better than ever.

As the President of the club Colleges Against Cancer, I am adamant about our mission statement, which is to save lives from cancer by initiating and supporting programs of the American Cancer Society in college communities. As a leader on campus, I leverage my people-management and organizational skills to execute several community service events, including Relay for Life, trips to Hope Lodge, a cancer treatment facility in Boston, and sporting event fundraisers, in hopes of contributing resources to finding a cure to a horrible disease. My passion of helping others coincides with West Monroe’s people-first value and emphasis on social responsibility. Working at an organization that shares community service values is important for me, and West Monroe has more than shown its commitment to help the greater

In my opinion, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated is a sisterhood dedicated in giving back to the community like myself. I believe Alpha Kappa Alpha pride themselves on being of service to others through fundraising, blood drives, back to school functions, and through peer mentoring. I think that the mission and goal of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated is the same as my club on campus, Very Involved Peers (VIP). VIP Pride themselves on increasing graduation rates with community service hours, promoting public awareness, and increasing student involvement with events on campus and in the community. As stated, in my opinion AKA Sorority exemplifies the same missions and goals that I am seeking to fulfill.

I am a member of Key Club, which is an high school organization that helps the local community. I joined this club to spend time to volunteer and also have the opportunity to give back to the community. Each month, there is a hour long meeting, which the members attend and we come up with project ideas to build a better community. Our club has food drives and we collect clothes to give to donation centers. Being a part of Key Club I also got the opportunity to volunteer with VFW which was one of the best experiences. Also, I volunteer at the Sikh Temple, which is a place to worship for Sikh people. However, people from all faiths and backgrounds are welcome to come and attend. Some of my activities include assisting to cook food for the people
