Mohave Shrine Annual
Clothe-A-Child Christmas
Program The Christmas season will be here
sooner than we think.
Each year the Mohave Shrine Club tries to provide 100
deserving 5-13 year old children, a Christmas event to remember.
With your support we can make this happen again this year.
The children are identified through the local school
districts. Applications are distributed to the local schools and
the approved applications are then forwarded to the Shrine Club.
This is to ensure that there isn't any preferential treatment or
favoritism by the Shrine membership and that we truly help those most
deserving and in need of clothing.
The children come to the Shrine Club, where they are
provided breakfast. They are
then transported to Wal-Mart by bus where they are each met by an adult
who takes them shopping. Each child is allowed to purchase $100.00
of shoes and clothing. They are then bussed back to the Shrine
Club for a hot lunch. Following the lunch they are
greeted by Santa Clause, who presents each child with a small gift bag.
All this will happen in mid December. You are invited to
participate in this heart-warming event as a sponsor, donor, shopper, or
Santa's helper.
If we are to make this event successful, it will be
necessary to raise $12,000. If it is possible for your company or
group to help support this cause we will be more than grateful.
Any donation you can provide, if being financial, toys, or other items,
will be appreciated & accepted. Throughout the year we hold raffles,
drawings, and have a golf tournament where we can use your donations as
door prizes for these functions.
All donations for the Clothe-A-Child program are tax
deductible and are use in the local Tri-State area only. This
means you are supporting our community. More importantly, you are
supporting some of the community's less fortunate and most deserving
children.
If you have any questions or want to make arrangements
for pick up of donations please call 928-758-5113. Donations can
be sent to, or dropped off at, the Mohave Shrine Club.
Please contact us if you would like us to make a
presentation to your group or staff.
Please join us in December, as a shopper or Santa's
Helper. To participate, you should be at the Shrine Club at 7:00
am.
