Year-round, the local Chapters of Variety – The Children’s
Charity plan fun and exciting events to raise funds
that support worthwhile community programs. From
Black Tie Galas to Pig Races, volunteers, staff and
members enjoy good times with good friends. Other successful events include
Golf Tournaments, “A
Day at the Races,” Auctions,
Radiothons, Telethons, “Kids Walk for Kids,” Membership Parties
and more.
Variety – The Children’s Charity launched the Gold Heart
Pin in Great Britain in 1991 and has since raised more than $100 million
to help children around the world challenged by poverty, violence, neglect,
and physical disability. This unique fundraising program centers around
the sale of a $2 Gold Heart Pin, the international symbol of love, hope,
and Variety – The Children’s Charity. Nationwide over 1,800
retail locations and 6,400 theatre screens participate in this exciting
fundraising campaign. Each year the collectible pin has a new design and
slogan, but the symbol remains the same – as does our motto; “Wear
your heart on your sleeve to show you care for kids.”
