Lawless KiiDs: Donation Drive

Posted by Dervin's thoughts On 7:25 AM No comments

Lawless KiiDs is an organization run by a group of intelligent,  energetic teens
who have the same interests-serving others. “Lawless  KiiDs” was created as a
subdivision of the events planning group Lawless  Events to encourage and create
an avenue for youth getting involved in  charitable events from an early age.

The main objective of the group The Lawless Kiids is to a great extent  focus on
strategies to remedy that problem and to open doors for the  less fortunate.


• The Lawless KiiDs initiated their plan of action on March 19th 2010  with
their Launch Party/Pre Championship event called Velocity held at  the YMCA
auditorium. The party started at 3pm and ended at 10pm. For our  first event, we
were delighted to see that there was a large number of  persons who attended.
The admission was set to $200 or free with a  non-perishable food item (can). We
collect 300 cans which were  distributed to different children’s home and youth
on the street and a  sum of $100,000 was donated to the YMCA. An issue of our
donation to the  YMCA was published in the Jamaica Observer on Tuesday, April
20, 2010.
•  Next on our calendar for the year was a home visit as a part of our  Labour
Day project scheduled for May 24. This plan was not fulfilled due  to the
uprising in Western Kingston. We had hoped to go to a children’s  home to offer
assistance in anyway possible. This is still on our  agenda.
• The Lawless Kiids then had their second event a month later  called Soprano.
Due to inclement weather number of persons we expected  to attend did not and as
a result we made a loss and so no donation was  made.

In the summer of 2011, We have orchestrated a series of events to help us to
better fulfill our mandate. The Lawless KiiDs have orchestrated a strategy to
better fulfill our  mandate. Starting Saturday June 25th and every Saturday
until July 30
we  will be having Donation Drives at Devonshire, Devon House from
1pm to  4pm.

We'll be accepting anything that can be donated: food, clothes, toys, books etc.
We've decided to make it a month long event in order to obtain as much items as
possible. We will distribute the donations to homes and orphanages across the
island during the month of August.
