2. Kamp Kiwanis

3. Local Causes
   Local causes is exactly what the name says! Does your local animal shelter need extra funding to fix up its basement due to flooding? Do you want to contribute to a scholarship for someone who passed away in your town? This project is meant for Key Clubbers to help out within their communities doing different projects that benefit their community.
4. Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation
   This Foundation is mostly funded through donations from Kiwanis Clubs--let’s help out as well, Key Club! It is a scary possibility to consider for the New York State residents who enjoy spending time outside during the summer months. Lyme disease may affect the brain in many ways. This Project was set up to help pay for medical treatment for treatment for children with this growing disease since treatment is so expensive and many insurance companies do NOT pay for it.
5. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
   Located in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a leading pediatric cancer center that provides care to children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases, working to find cures through research and treatment. http://www.stjude.org/
