Introducing Club 52: Honoring Our Legacy, Building the Future
The name Club 21 was chosen in anticipation of the 21st century, which began just three years after Club 21’s launch. Now, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of this powerful initiative.
Over the past 30 years, Club 21 has grown from a single camp for children with AIDS/HIV to supporting a wide range of programs for children facing physical, mental, and emotional disabilities, cancer and blood disorders, and other medical and socioeconomic challenges. Our reach now extends even further, encompassing international education and health initiatives.
With this growth, the need—and the cost—has naturally increased. What was once a meaningful $21 donation in 1997 is equivalent to nearly $50 in 2025.
At the 59th International Convention in Québec City, we officially transitioned from Club 21 to Club 52. Two Hundred Seventy-Four Altrusans attending the Convention became Charter Members of Club 52. This new chapter invites everyone to contribute $1 per week for 52 weeks—or a one-time donation of $52—to continue and expand the legacy we’ve built together.
All who donate from July 2025 through May 31, 2026, including at Spring 2026 District Conferences or via our website—will be recognized as Charter Members of Club 52.
Clubs and Districts contributing $252 or more during this period will also be recognized as Charter Members and will receive a Club 52 patch for their banners as a symbol of their commitment and impact.
