What’s Going On?

International and District!

“The Pacific Northwest

is the beginning, the

world is our goal”

– Past Kiwanis Governor; Frank Morehouse

What’s KCCP?

KCCP was founded in 2010 by past

Governor Frank Morehouse. It was

inspired by a little girl named Penny,

who was diagnosed with a brain

tumor. She later lost her fight against

cancer. KCCP is in honor of Penny.

ATTENTION TO ALL PNW KEY CLUBEBRS!

KCCP is our DISTRICT

PROJECT! As the Pacific Northwest district, let us

join together to find a cure for

children’s cancer. There is no end to

this project until the cure is found.

What can YOU do to help?

Make Trauma Dolls for cancer

patients

Fundraise, Fundraise, And

Fundraise!

Educate others on this needy

cause.

Volunteer your time! Make activity books!

WHAT IF YOU COULD

SAVE A BABY’S LIFE? Maternal and neonatal tetanus

(MNT) kills one baby every nine

minutes — that's 60,000 babies

every year who will never grow up,

make their mothers laugh, play with

friends or dream about the future.

The effects of the disease are

excruciating — tiny newborns suffer

repeated, painful convulsions and

extreme sensitivity to light and

touch. A significant number of

women die from MNT each year

too.

EDUCATE Educate yourself about MNT, and share

what you learn with your club, your

community, your family and your school.

ADVOCATE Let the world know that the poorest, most

vulnerable babies and mothers need our

help. Rally others to get involved. Add a

link to www.TheEliminateProject.org on

your club website.

INVEST Be among the first to invest in this global

campaign for children. Make an initial gift

today.

ELIMINATE Over the next five years, the work you do

to eliminate MNT will change the world.

Together, Kiwanis and

UNICEF will eliminate MNT and give the

poorest families the chance to lead the

healthy lives they deserve.
