The 70th Annual Key Club International Convention doesn’t start until July 2013, but now’s the perfect time to begin raising money to attend.

Have you heard of the one-third plan? Key Club International suggests you follow this formula to pay for your convention experience in Washington, D.C.

• Pay one-third of the cost from your own fundraising efforts.
• Ask your Key Club or school to help fundraise another one-third of the cost.
• Talk to your sponsoring Kiwanis club or local businesses about sponsoring the final third.

Not sure where to start? No worries—Key Club International has created a sponsorship toolkit  with checklists, sample letters, PowerPoint templates and more to guide you step by step. Go to keyclub.org/convention, then click on the event sponsorship toolkit and PowerPoint presentation on the right-hand side of the page.
