The Eliminate Project
The Kiwanis Club of Pleasant Grove reached Model Club status thanks to generous donations to The Eliminate Project. Most members wrote "birthday" checks in support of the project and our club received a great "jump start" from the Hixson's, Jerry and Annellon Fitzgerald. Thanks to efforts of our club, Kiwanis International has reached their fundraising goal, raising US$110 million in cash and pledges since 2010.
Through The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus—a deadly disease that steals the lives of nearly 49,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. Read more about eliminating maternal/neonatal tetanus. |
