Fundraising Events

The North Kansas City Kiwanis Club doesn't let any grass grow under it's feet! There are several annual fundraising projects that support our many service projects. Some of them include:

• November Chili Day! Each year, the NKC Kiwanis host a chili day. It's always Election Day Tuesday, at the First Christian Church, 2018 Gentry, North Kansas City. We serveall-you-can-eat chili and cookies all day, 11am – 7pm, for just $6.00/person.

  
  

• We're off to the races! NKC Kiwanis members work two weekends each year serving burgers, hotdogs, pop and beer at the Kansas Speedway. We do this in partnership with the Leavenworth (KS) and Lansing (KS) clubs. Not only do we raise a lot of money-we also get to see AND HEAR the race.

  
  

• February Sweetheart Dance Not only do we have a great evening of food, drinks and dancing-we also raise money for our projects. We invite everyone (sweetheart or not) to come have a good time with us and know that your ticket price goes to a good community cause.

Service Projects

Mid-America Games

North Kansas City Kiwanis' members work one weekend every year helping host the Mid-America Games for athletes with disabilities. Members keep score, serve food, help the athletes move from event to event, and help underwrite the cost of ribbons.

Scholarships

NKC Kiwanis fund three annual $1,500 scholarships to deserving high school seniors. Kiwanis members spend hours reviewing applications to select the recipients. Members always attend the school's awards ceremony and the recipients and guests attend a Kiwanis luncheon in June.

Library Summer Reading Program

Each year, NKC Kiwanis serve lunch (for 700+ attendees!) at the North Kansas City Public Library Summer Reading “kick off” picnic. Kiwanis members volunteer many hours planning, cooking, serving, and cleaning up knowing that this project encourages our children to read throughout the summer months.

Healthy Families

Kiwanis members can always be found at the local Hy-Vee grocery store the Saturday before Mother's Day! We collect baby and children's food, items and money for Healthy Families. These donations, distributed through Healthy Families, support Northland families in need.

Family Health Clinic

NKC Kiwanis members bring hammers, paint brushes, drills and everything else needed to help with the work day at the Family Health Clinic. We've taken out walls, removed counters, and painted window trim (just for a start!).
