Elemonate Challenge Results!

 The Elemonate Challenge was created by Key Club to benefit UNICEF and the Eliminate Project. It is like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, except this challenge raises awareness for the Eliminate Project. The Eliminate Project helps provide vaccines to help fight against maternal and neonatal tetanus(MNT). Every 11 minutes, a baby is lost to MNT. $1.80 is enough to give a mother three vaccines to protect her and her children from MNT. We performed the challenge by having each officer and a volunteer eat a slice of lemon. Donations were based on whoever did not pick the winning person or people who didn't eat the lemon slice fast enough. We raised $53 during this challenge! This means we were able to provide almost 30 mothers with vaccines against MNT!!
