FUNDRAISING PROJECTS
Change the Future
Since
2013, we have had a money jar on
the sign in table at our weekly meetings, giving our members and guests an
opportunity to donate their spare change, a dollar, or more for the benefit of the

ask our members to consider donating a birthday check in a dollar amount equal

Change the Future is our club's only direct fundraiser with
the purpose of growing the endowment of the Raleigh Kiwanis Foundation, and donations are tax
deductible. Please make your check payable to Raleigh Kiwanis Foundation

immunizations for more than 100 million mothers and their future babies.
In March, 2012, our club voted to participate in The Eliminate Project as a 100K Club with a fundraising goal of
