SAAAPA
Student Society Fundraising Campaign
"Care
to Share 2008" - Students make a difference.
Care
to Share 2008 – to benefit the PA Foundations' Host City
Prevention Campaign (HCPC) and the Annual 5K Fun Walk/Run fundraising
efforts is kicking off for another year.
All
student societies are asked to participate in the fundraising and even
the smallest contribution can assist someone in a community. Remember
that all of your donations go back into communities all over the country
and this allows people to learn more about PAs and see how much this
profession gives to others.

2008
Host City Prevention Campaign
The
HCPC raises funds to support a cause and this year it is children's
literacy. The Children's Shelter in San Antonio, Texas will receive
a third of the total donations, as they were the organization in San
Antonio (where AAPA's annual conference will be held in 2008) that was
selected. The rest of the money will be donated to organizations around
the country who are working to improve children's literacy. All of the
money – 100% – will be donated by the PA Foundation.
2008
Annual 5K Fun Walk/Run
The
Fun Walk/Run takes place during the AAPA's annual conference in San
Antonio. Teams are asked to raised $1,000 or $100 for each runner. The
donations from this event will fund the PA Foundation's programs such
as the Annual Scholarship fund – which provides scholarship money to
PA students; the Community Based grants – which helps student societies
with programs in their communities; and Healthy Neighborhoods – which
helps support community projects around the country.
.
How
you and your student society can get involved?
The
Student Academy is asking that each student society help raise funds
for the SAAAPA sponsored contributions for the HCPC and the Fun Run
and Walk. This year our goal is 100%
student society participation. Remember, that no matter how large or
small the contribution, every bit helps communities around the country.
Each
contributing student society will be recognized on a display that will
be located in a prominent location for the duration of the annual conference.
In addition, each participating student society will receive a recognition
certificate that will be presented in the 2008 meeting of the SAAAPA
Assembly of Representatives. While the display will recognize all contributing
student societies equally, the recognition certificates presented in
the AOR will designate the student society's level of funds raised based
on the following:
$1
- $249 Bronze level
$250
- $499 Silver level
$500
- $749 Gold level
$750
- $999 Platinum level
$1000
- $1999 President's Circle
$2000
and above Diamond level
Use
your imagination and have fun with these worthy causes. We have included
some fund raising ideas to get you started.
If
you have questions, comments, or ideas, please contact Shannon Faherty,
SAAAPA staff advisor, 703/836-2272 ext. 3311 or sfaherty@aapa.org
.
Please
note that all contributions must be received by SAAAPA at AAPA's national
office NO LATER THAN Tuesday, April 1, 2008
in order for your student society to be appropriately recognized. Please
include the contribution
form included with this information when sending
your contribution.
You
can still raise additional money for the HCPC and the Fun Walk/Run after
April 1, but your student society might not be recognized for funds
received after the April 1 deadline.
