Key Club Begins Selling Valentine Grams

As Feb. 14 draws near, the Minarets Key Club has started selling Valentine’s Grams in order to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House charity organization.

Much like the club’s Boo Grams fundraiser, typically sold in October, the Valentine’s Grams will be sold to gift a treat to a specified person. Buyers will fill out the name of the person they wish to give the Gram to, as well as their grade, their address (if it is someone outside of the school), and an optional special message which will be enclosed in the gift. All information will be filled out on a Google form soon to be sent out by Minarets Key Club and the cost, $2 each, will be paid via the school’s online store. The gift will contain candy and other small items centering on Valentine’s Day.


Because of the lack of in-person schooling, the Valentine’s Grams will be sold online and shipped to the specified person. This presents a great opportunity to send one to a person outside of Minarets High School. With the new format, Valentine’s Grams can be sent to family and friends who do not attend the school. During this time especially, the Key Club has found that these present a great way to safely let someone know you care about them.

Another reason to purchase a Valentine’s Gram in the upcoming weeks is that the money raised from the sales will go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The main focus of the organization is to “help alleviate some financial burdens for families with sick children.” When families have to travel far for their child’s medical care, the organization helps offset the cost by providing the family a place to stay as well as eat. Aside from the physical benefits this provides families, there are many important psychological benefits as well. Families in the programs are able to participate in more of their child’s care as well simply feel less anxious. Moreover, each year, they help families save over $930 million in lodging and meal costs alone. People’s contribution through the buying of Valentine’s Grams will, however small, make an impact on the organization.


Not only is this a great opportunity to do something kind for someone you care about, it also provides an opportunity to donate to an impactful organization. The Valentine’s Gram sale will end a few days before Valentine’s Day, the club emphasizes that you place your order as soon as possible.
