NOT FOR SALE 

(written by Garvey Su, UCLA)

So you've heard 9 weeks of information and resources for Not For Sale. Still not sold that you can help? 
Are you a consumer? A business-person? An educator? No matter who you are, you can always make a difference.

PEDIATRIC TRAUMA PROGRAM 

(written by Triana Crighton, UCD)

What does Pediatric Trauma Prevention mean to YOU? Did you know there are many aspects to and ways to contribute to PTP? Here are some ways to contribute that you may not have known about!

• Become a Champion of Children! By donating just $10 dollars a month, you can make your club a club of champions and support the life of a young child with some sort of ailment. Make it a monthly club fundraiser and you’ll be surprised how easily you can surpass the $10 minimum! 
  
• Make a fundraising goal dedicated to Founder’s Day! $500 can buy a safety seat for a child, $250 can buy training for various responders of children trauma, and $100 can buy family education on how to limit pediatric trauma accidents. 
  

There are so many ways to help! Decide what’s best for your club and set it up! Look for more ideas on the official CNH Kiwanis wesbite!

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough." ~ Randy Pausch, "The Last Lecture"
