Kiwanis Clubs have partnered with local businesses for
years to help pay for the books for the children served through Jean Dean
RIF. Purchasing the books through group buys and sending them to local
areas saves at least 50% on the cost of books for Alabama's at-risk young
children. Having the program administered from one location assures stability
and longevity for the program and saves a lot of set-up time for local
volunteers. It's a necessary part of the program that most funders, volunteers
and sites served never see. Anything you could do now or over the next 5 years would
be a big help Please make your checks payable to: Alabama Kiwanis Foundation/Jean
Dean RIF (For: "Capital Campaign") All donations to this campaign are tax deductible Donations of $5,000 and up: The Three Billy Goats Gruff
Society ("Big Brothers" meeting special needs) |
