Since 1950, Purple Pig or CHEMPI (California-Hawaii Elks Major Project) has been providing Occupational, Physical, and Speech-Language Therapy to children with disabilities (at no cost to their families) in addition to Vision Screening for over 50,000 children each year. Your gift today will help thousands of children with disabilities throughout California and Hawaii!
Our Purple Pig slogan, “A COIN A DAY AND THEY’LL WALK, TALK, SEE AND PLAY,” is really a polite way of saying… we should do a little more.
If every single Elk in our Association donated just 10 cents, one thin dime a day, the PIGGY BANK would have over $3.5 million for the year. As you can see, it doesn’t take much.
Just a lot of people doing just a little more to help the disabled children that is the real reason for our existence. What we need is a lot of people working together for the same cause. That’s the Elks.
That’s what the PIGGY BANK is all about!
Each of you Elks received a PURPLE PIG when you were initiated. We take off our hat to you who have used the piggy bank and returned them to the office for credit!
Thank you for the past, now let’s build up the future! If you don’t have a purple pig, make sure you pick one up on your next visit to the lodge, you too can make a difference.
This Year’s “Per Member” Goal is $1.00 per week = $52. Will You Help?
