As all of you know, Supreme's Aid and Support After Pregnancy (ASAP) program has been an outstanding success over the last two years. This program enables Council donations to pregnancy centers and maternal homes to be supplemented with matching funds from Supreme up to a certain dollar amount. Many of you have enthusiastically embraced this program, driving Florida to #1 in the Order in FY 2022-2023 and currently #5 in this Fraternal Year.
Supreme has recently come out with a Jurisdictional (statewide) ASAP "Pass the Hat" incentive, whereby Supreme will match 25% of the collective contributions of Councils up to $50,000 by the end of May to pregnancy centers and maternal homes that the State Council designates. We are asking all Councils to participate in this short-term fundraising project. Here is how it will work.
