Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP)
Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP)
The Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation established the Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) in 1994 to develop local projects that will reduce the number of children in California, Nevada, and Hawaii who are killed or injured by trauma.
When you donate to PTP, you...
Provide grants to their partner hospitals, enabling them to create or expand community outreach programs;
provide grants to Kiwanis and SLP clubs, enabling them to help more children in more communities; and
you provide PTP safety items, which are available for purchase by the Kiwanis family at a subsidized cost.

Thirst Project
Thirst Project
Ten years ago, Thirst Project was started by a group of students who believed that the water crisis was arguably the greatest humanitarian crisis we faced as a global community.
Today, the water crisis is still present, and their goal is to continue fighting the crisis by instilling a desire to create change in us Key Clubbers. In the past ten years, students have helped Thirst Project give clean water to more than 367,000 people in 13 countries.
How can you help?
1. Schedule a Thirst Project presentation for your club or district convention with a virtual school tour. (https://www.thirstproject.org/virtual/)
2. Hydrate for 28. Hydrate for 28 is an epic 28-day wellness challenge for Key Club students to help raise awareness of the water crisis while highlighting the importance of staying hydrated. While the campaign is over, there is still a chance to purchase a Thirst Project and Key Club-themed water bottle. $8 from each bottle sold will go to help fund a water project for a community in Eswatini!
3. Go digital. Create an online campaign page and do something epic for the water crisis. We have seen Key Club members swim around the Statue of Liberty, run a half marathon or get pied in the face for clean water. Plan Safe something crazy and create your campaign page here: my.thirstproject.org
