Charity Club’s signature fundraiser is the Charity Ball!
All proceeds raised from the event are used to assist children in the area. 60 percent of the proceeds are earmarked to the milk fund and the remaining funds are used to support local charitable organizations, families, or specific projects which benefit children.
You may ask, “Why milk? Doesn’t the government already do that?” Even though some groups get funding, it is not enough to cover the many needs for milk. Many organizations do receive government assistance, but other organizations do not get enough funding, if any. Yes, many of the organizations we donate to have additional funding, but it is not enough, and we certainly do not cover all of their costs. For instance, the Food for Thought program uses our donation to give over 9,000 pints of milk to students, but they make over 180,000 meal bags.
