District Club Input We don’t want any of your funds. We don’t even want much of your time.

District Club Input All we do want is the name of a Business leader, Celebrity or Dignitary known to your Club that may be willing to take up the Challenge.

Invitations We would then issue an invitaion in Spring 2009 and handle all the subsequent correspondence, joining formalities etc.

District Club Benefits A Business leader, Celebrity or Dignitary in your own area with personal knowledge of the workings of ShelterBox. Increased Public awareness by the above and also via the press / media coverage of the event. Easier raising of future ShelterBox funds.

…TO HELP MAKE THIS POSSIBLE. Helping the most needy ShelterBox acts irrespective of race, religion or political affiliation. The charity receives no government funding and relies on public donations. Around 90% of all income goes directly on aid.
