4. We make a difference! In Our School! In Our Community! In Our World!

5. How Do We Do It??? • We begin by welcoming any students who would like to participate into the club and meet once a week • Then we work together to choose a cause to support with our fundraising efforts; last year it was Ryan’s Well Foundation. This year, we chose to support the Pediatric Unit of the Sudbury Regional Hospital. We wanted to bring smiles to the faces of kids who are going through a tough time • Next we set a fundraising goal... This year we hope to raise $2000, just like last year • Finally we think of fundraisers that we can organize in our school and get going as soon as possible!

10. A story to share...  Last year, Adamsdale’s Me to We Club raised money to help build a well in Kenya with Ryan’s Well Foundation.  This year the students decided to help out in our community through a donation to the Pediatric Unit of the Sudbury Regional Hospital; hoping to brighten a child’s day while they are going through a tough time.  2 students in our club have a friend who is confined to a wheelchair. Her name is Angele and she has a disease that attacks her spine. After numerous operations, she was in need of a new wheelchair and her parents were experiencing difficulty making ends meet.  The girls approached the club, asking if we could help this family out. In the spirit of helping sick children in our community, we matched the donation made by Angele’s school and donated $300 of our funds to the family to help buy a new wheelchair for Angele. What a great way to show that you care!
