6/5 Charity of the Week - Childrens Specialized Hospital

Hey Guys!

As a Key Clubber, it is crucial that you know your basic stuff on CSH. Why? Well for many reasons.

1] CSH is our district project! (For the fourth year - nonetheless!)
For those of you who do not know, each new Key Club year the district board picks a charity/project they would like to spend a lot of time on. All Key Club's are required to put towards this effort in making the project bloom and grow!

This year our district would like to get $84,350.16 for the hospital.

$20,000 goes to each of the 4 facilities.
$4,000 (representing our fourth year helping CSH).
$350 (representing the $350,000 that our district will have fundraised by the end of our Key Club year.)
And the last $0.16 (representing the day of the 2010 District Convention.)

Also, as hours are taken into consideration, we would all like to serve 11,679 hours at CSH (this represents each NJ Key Clubber!)

2]"It's our hospital"
Again, for those of you who did not attend the RTC. One Key Clubber - when reaching the topic of CSH - had stated that it was our hospital. We put so much effort into it, we become apart of it.

More About CSH ....
As some of you know, CSH is an AMAZING hospital - one that never turns down a patient even if they cannot afford it. (This is where our fundrasing and money come in handy - they help pay the medical expenses!)

Their values are timeless and honorable:
As said on their website (http://www.childrens-specialized.org/)
"Compassion: We provide a loving, caring family-centered environment for the children, their families, and each other. We advocate for children and their families.
Integrity: We are committed to organizational and financial accountability, transparency, respect for all, and ethical practices.
Excellence: We will be the best at our work and provide the highest quality family-centered care to our children, constantly striving to improve.
Innovation: We go above and beyond the norm and will be creative in providing care and solving problems.
Teamwork and Collaboration: We seek to collaborate and partner in all that we do. We are a team where every person is needed to provide the quality care for which we are known. We work together and communicate effectively.
Fun: We will provide a positive and friendly environment."

With eight hospitals throughout NJ, our goal is to help each one as much as we can!


I thought to change it up, in addition to this, I would put a video about CSH up. To show you how much we help, and how important they are.





And this video!
That is especially directed to us!




It's a miraculous thing when you see the second video - the one with our CSH in it, and you recognize the kids. When you know their names, how they are, well that's when you know your making a difference.

And I got to say - it feels amazing :]
No wonder why we always help CSH!



Well that's all for now, tune in next time!
And have a great weekend!
