TWELVE GOOD DEEDS
The Twelve In Twelve Foundation is launching one of our most ambitious fundraising projects to date and we would like to invite you to be one of the first schools worldwide to participate in this endeavor. In addition, the program incorporates global education, a birds-eye view of relief work worldwide, and empowers kids to make a difference both in their local community and thr
oughout the world. Here’s how it works:
A student will commit to obtain a minimum of 12 sponsors who will support them in completing 12 Good Deeds in twelve weeks. Each sponsor will pay one dollar for each good deed completed. Eleven of the good deeds are already determined from our list. The remaining good deed is actually decided upon by the student. Once a student commits to the Twelve Good Deeds Program, they will receive an e-book, where they are able to follow the global journey of the Lewis family. Each reader will experience the adventure of Twelve In Twelve, one family’s trip around the world to make a difference. The Lewis family is the first family in history to have traveled to all seven continents in one year, specifically to do humanitarian work. Not only will the participant get the benefit of learning about the family’s travels, they will also be introduced to many different countries and cultures throughout the world, making this a constructive global educational program. In addition, the e-book will include a summary of the twelve projects that the Twelve In Twelve Foundation has committed to help. With a brief description of each of the organizations, there will be an outline of the proposed project at each location. As funding becomes available, the progress of each project will be posted online on the Twelve Good Deeds website for all participants to view. The purpose is to have each participant understand the direct impact of their fundraising efforts and to see how the money raised, actually makes a difference in people’s lives around the world. The Twelve Good Deeds website will be an interactive platform, encouraging students to engage in the process at hand. Each global project will have regular postings of their progress and participants are encouraged to post and communicate with the projects directly, and also with other participants. This inaugural run of Twelve Good Deeds promises to garner positive attention for your school. You can take great pride in the fact that you were the pioneers of this worthwhile program. Our project has been featured in national media including Parade Magazine, NPR radio and NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox News. The cost to be a Flagship School is a one-time fee of $1,200, which will go directly to all administrative cost of this program. In addition, the school or organization commits to enroll a minimum of twelve participants.
