  2. Major Project Purple Pig

  3. Mission Statement The California-Hawaii Elks Major Project, Inc., a committee of the California-Hawaii Elks Association, pledges its commitment to addressing the unmet needs of children with disabilities throughout the states of California and Hawaii by developing a program of supporting services to aid these children at no cost to their families and without discrimination.

  4. History • On September 29, 1950, the Elks of California adopted the Major Project. • August 1951, the Northwest District started the program in Eureka . • There was one occupational therapist, one physical therapist, two station wagons, and eight children. • The program then moved on to the Sierra Foothills, the valley farmlands, and to Hawaii. • The Vision Screening and Speech Therapy programs started in 1965. • The results of the therapy provided by the Elks are manifold. The children receiving the therapy strive to develop to the best of their potential, whether that be total independence in walking or being able to communicate successfully with assistance.

  5. Andrew Bowring - 2013-2014 THEME CHILDCALIFORNIA-HAWAII ELKSMAJOR PROJECT On December 11, 2010, Andrew joined the Bowring family. After several months, Andrew's grandmother noticed that he was behind in his motor skills. The Bowring family lives in Tehama County where services for children are very limited, especially physical therapy. Andrew was then referred to the Elks program, and at eight months of age, started treatment with Denise Wilson, Physical Therapist. It was only two weeks after he was referred that we were meeting with Denise and then started therapy right away.

  14. Therapy Services Occupational Therapy - Through individual home instruction, the goal for all children in the program is to become as independent and self-sufficient as they can. Our occupational therapists, working with the parents, teach our children the basics from feeding and dressing skills to dealing with problems in sensory integration.

  15. Therapy Services Physical Therapy - The Elks physical therapists evaluate and treat children with a wide range of disabilities as they travel from home to home. Their focus is to help these children learn or improve important motor skills by educating or re-educating muscles and increasing strength, endurance and coordination. Parent involvement helps increase the rate of success.

  16. Therapy Services Speech-Language Therapy - The gift of communication, the promise of the future - with thanks to the Elks. Our highly trained Elks Major Project speech-language pathologists can diagnose a variety of communication disorders and coordinate a home program of therapy with the parent. Many speech-language problems are addressed by the staff, including swallowing or feeding difficulties.

  17. Preschool Vision Screening Services Preschool Vision Screening - The Elks Preschool Vision Screening Program screens over 50,000 children per year.  It is the goal of the program to significantly decrease the number of children at risk for amblyopia ("lazy eye") and other vision problems. It is with thanks to this highly effective program that thousands of children have been saved from permanent eye damage over the years.

  18. Evaluation and Treatment Services Requirements: Under 18 Not eligible for other therapy services because of geographical location, transportation difficulties, diagnosis, insurance or other limiting conditions.

Benefits to You:Life Time IncomeImmediate Tax Deduction Avoid Capital Gains Reduce Estate Taxes Tax Shelter Growth BLT Recognition Benefits to the Elks: A Gift Commitment, A Promise for the Future, Help Disabled Children

  22. Bequests and Living Trusts “Gifts that Last Beyond Tomorrow”

  23. What are the contribution levels? There are two separate contribution levels which serve different purposes: Contributions of less than $499 go directly to the Major Project Operating Fund instead of the Trust. Contributions of $500 or more go directly to the Commitment Trust, where income is generated from the principal amounts.

  24. As you can see, individuals can participate in the BLT program for any amount that they wish to pledge; however, it is the amount of the pledge that determines the benefits to not only the individual but also to the Major Project. So there are many ways people can participate, it really is dependent upon what benefits they want to achieve!

  25. How does it benefit an individual? Always one should consult with their financial advisor…..but if you are able to contribute a minimum of $10,000, you can earn money back!

  26. What is the B.L.T? The Bequest & Living Trusts Committee (BLT) is closely connected with the CHEA Major Project, and benefits it directly. The BLT was created to separate out gifts of property and money, customarily arising as the result of the death of a Lodge Member. It’s similar to ENF in that the principal is never spent, however, the income generated each year is used to benefit the Major Project.

  27. BLT Chair Duties: • Simple yet invaluable….remind the members of your lodge that there is a Major Project BLT Committee and about the Legacy Trust Fund. • To present the information, but not act as their financial advisor in any way. • Direct all inquiries to the CHEA office where they can be further directed with the information they may need to make their decisions. • Promote the BLT in your lodge through newsletter articles, fliers, and posters. • Set up a time to present it at a lodge meeting a few times a year. • Partner with your Purple Pig chair in promotion of the BLT. • Report to the District chair on a quarterly basis about what you have done in your lodge. Where can I get more information? • Your District Chairperson • The CHEA website (chea-elks.org) under the • “Major Project” tab and or “Committees” tab. • Your BLT manual

  31. Our Legacy to the Future In 1928, one man's dream became a reality for all Elks and the communities we serve. Then-National President John F. Malley envisioned a plan that would "unite the forces of the Order into a mighty army for the service of mankind." During the annual Grand Lodge Convention in Miami that year, Malley's call to service inspired delegates to take action by voting to establish the Elks National Foundation with an initial $100,000 grant.

For every dollar the Foundation received from California Lodges last year, we got back $2.03.
