5. Scholarship Funds

We know that we can make a huge difference and a positive impact in the lives of the indigent people of Catanduanes, when we elevate their lives and help them develop their God-given talents, skills, and abilities.  This is the legacy we wish to give them.

“To Dream the Impossible, Begin to Make it Possible.”

 One Dollar Donation Campaign

CATANDUANES INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION, INC. is in a financial challenge this year to finance the MEDICAL MISSION on JANUARY 10-14, 2011.

Therefore, the CATANDUANES INTERNTIONAL ASSOCIATION, INC.-  Las Vegas Chapter’s Fundraising Committee has been working very hard and has come up with various ideas to raise funds to finance our Medical Mission 2011.

One of those ideas is the "MISSION ELEVATE - ONE DOLLAR DONATION CAMPAIGN",

A Press Conference to launch this campaign will be held on Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 3:00 P.M. at the Clarion Hotel and Casino's Meeting Room on the second floor, 305 Convention Center Drive, Las Vegas, NV (near the Strip).

In the last four Medical Missions conducted by the Catanduanes International Association, Inc. the following statistics of medical care has been given to the medically deprived people of the island province of Catanduanes, Philippines.

* Medical cases………11,561
* Pediatric cases...........12.011
* Surgery………………...806
* Dental………………..1,127

Our current goal is to raise $50,000.00 in donations through this One Dollar Donation Campaign.  This will help us purchase the vital medicines for one week, January 10-14, 2011, for more than 5,000 indigent families (men, women, and children) who are in dire need of medical, dental, and surgical assistance and care.

In addition, we also provide other services such as, toys for tots, clothing, rice distribution, soup kitchen, backpack for children, shoes, eyeglasses, etc.

In order to reach this goal we have determined that we need to target:
Number of donors: 50,000 x 1 = $50,000

Remember, your donation is tax deductible under 501(c)(3).
