Milwaukee Collegiate Donation Case Study

Ever since I can remember, I have had the intense desire to help people. In high school, I joined Kiwanis Key Club and National Honors Society; both organizations allowed me to gain hours of volunteer experience helping families in need within my own community. Both organizations have annual events to benefit our community. At Christmas, Key Club adopts a few families and we buy clothing and toys for the kids. Our efforts to make the holidays a more enjoyable time for the families removed the parents’ burden of having to worry about being able to pay bills after getting presents for their children. Also, National Honors Society holds a blood drive every year in coalition with the American Red Cross. Last year our blood drive was in honor of a little girl in our community with leukemia.

I have made several great contributions to Buckeye Trail High School. I was a part of the schools levy committee, I got good grades, and I am one of the many representative of what good students come from the school. I mailed out letters and was on the Buckeye Trail Levy Committee. I have gotten good grades every year that I went there, when I went to MidEast, and also at Belmont College. I am one representative of what great students come from Buckeye Trail High School.

For me, giving back to my community is really important. I know the constant fear of not being able to afford college,books, or food. If I received the Magnificent Obsession Perpetual Scholarship, it will help me alleviate my worries and help me continue pursuing my education. During and after college, I will mentor other students that are passing through a similar experience. I will inform them about scholarships or internships opportunities. Once I'm economically stable I will like to donate funds to the Magnificent Obsession Perpetual Scholarship. I also hope to create my own scholarship. I believe we should help each other to

The Katy Rotary Fund gifted $30 thousand to the HCC Foundation for scholarships for current and former Katy ISD students attending Houston Community College.

The Iowa Donor Network (IDN) is near and dear to my heart because when my brother died at fourteen his organs were donated and have helped so many people. One lady named Robin who was a critical diabetic got my brother’s kidney and pancreas. An adoption agency would not let Robin adopt any babies because of her condition. However, there were two babies that were highly addicted to crack cocaine that had been sexually and physically abused. Nobody wanted them, but Robin did. After Robin received my brother’s transplant she was able to give these children a life that no one else would give them. This has taught me how important being an organ donor can be. Not only am I an organ donor on my license, but through advertising with the IDN, I am

The 12th Man Foundation is one of departments at Texas A&M University. It exists to provide economic resources to athletes. The foundation contacts former students and asks them to donate money to the university. Once a year, the foundation hosts distinguished dinner which honors the people who have donated to the university. While I was at the event, volunteering, I was asked to sit next to a table with an empty green containers. Next to me was a board that stated, “80% will go toward South Carolina Flood Relief Funds and 20% will go to toward the local food bank.” The same people who have already donated millions of dollars to the school were expected to donate more. Being ethnocentric, I thought the foundation was asking too much. To my surprise, the former students started to come to the table with eagerness to give. Those who did not have cash or checks, turned away with grief faces. I comforted them by telling them that the foundation will continue to collect the next day at the football game. They thanked me and went on to enjoy the food and drinks at the event in relief.

As a student at Avila I had the special opportunity to give money toward a loan to a lucky recipient across the country through and organization called FINCA. FINCA is an organization that provides microfinance loan opportunities to a plethora of people in 21 different countries. I had the chance to choose a recipient to make a loan to that was funded through t-shirt sales at Avila. We were inspired to make these loans as a university because our common reading story this summer was International Bank of Bob by Bob Harris where the author writes about his adventures meeting recipients of his KIVA loans, and organization much like FINCA. My chosen FINCA client is named Rhoda Mwale.

Make-A-Wish Foundation has become very close to my heart over the years, and I finally got the chance to contribute to my favorite charity in a big way during my senior year of high school! While a member of Student Government, our sponsor suggested that we make our Homecoming Spirit Week a way for us to help give back, and he suggested that we sponsor a child from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Upon hearing the news, I couldn’t have been more excited and quickly began working with my fellow student government members to brainstorm potential fundraising ideas. Finally, we decided on our fundraiser: It was an inter-class competition called “Jar Wars” to see which class could fill their jar with the most change the fastest by the end of Spirit Week.

"Just meeting such wonderful groups of people," said Lee. "Knowing that's its a good charitable contribution to an organization that will give it right back to the community that it care about."

2. The Boys and Girls club of Austin utilized their Facebook and Twitter accounts to advertise and promote various events. They are hosting a BGCAA night with the Spurs vs Oklahoma State coming up on February 28th. They have encouraged their audience to buy tickets in which all donations will go to the Austin based clubs. They also gave a shoutout to East 4 East, which is an organization that provides healthy meals to underprivileged children and their families. One of the Austin-based clubs posted picture of two APD officers speaking to the children. The focus for the week of February 14th - 20th was to fundraise and celebrate their community. The post about East 3 East’s donation to the clubs evoked an emotional response in me. I felt that

1. The transformation of philanthropy in American higher education was the coming together of industry and religion in what was termed the “Protestant work ethic.” Discuss why this was important to wealthy entrepreneurs.

Every Thanksgiving there are 50 million Americans that are struggling with poverty in this country. Many families around this time of year cannot afford to have a turkey or traditional foods to celebrate this holiday. Through phi theta kappa, our chapter did a food drive around Faulkner state community college to help make a difference for families around the community. I was responsible for the food drop boxes and paired with other officers to go to all classes on campus for a week to get canned goods and other necessities for Thanksgiving. Through our food drive we were able to feed families and give them a Thanksgiving dinner they

The kind project has made up to 15,000 dollars for students desks, and 7 million total. Lawrence O'donnell says that donating desks for schools makes it better to have a school scholarship. People have not been just paying with money but have donating money online. The kids were overjoyed because now they can have a better education, but this also makes people who helped out with the kind fund glad. This is because they were able to make an attempt to make the kids in malawi have a better life.
