Can we count on your to help ? Our charitable work continues with your help. In the last year we awarded $10,000 in scholarships to college-bound teens and initiated a Luminaria project to help Light Up The Night and warm hearts during COVID-challenged holidays. We delighted kids in onsite/offsite student programs with gummies directed by folks like you from our Peanut Day drive, we sponsored youth sports and activities of high school Kiwanis Key Club, and targeted funds and in-kind donations to local charities, and seeded innovative food programs. We also delivered on our club’s 9th year of GoBabyGo, partnering with Shirley Ryan Ability Lab—retrofitting battery cars for developmentally disabled children to improve their mobility, socialization and neural growth Please help us to continue to meet new and emerging community needs.
