2010 Service Project Total Contributions
2010 was a very good year for Beta members as they put into practice their motto, "Let Us Lead By Serving Others."
Over $287,000 was raised to send to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. All donations were managed by the American Red Cross.
With 947 Beta Clubs reporting a total of $1,584,946 in cash was raised and 250,000 hours of labor was donated to a wide variety of local, state, and national charities.
Another shining example of Beta Club members putting "Achievement into Action!"

2011 National Service Project Announced
MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) has been selected as the 2010-11 National Service Project. The goal is to raise $1.00 for every National Beta Club member during this school year. If accomplished a check for over $400,000 will be presented to Jerry Lewis at the annual Labor Day Telethon in 2011.
Luke Christie, a Beta Club member, and National Youth Chairman for MDA made the annoucement at the national convention in Louisville, KY in June, 2010.
