Fundraisers

Our club sponsors various fundraisers throughout the year for funds to support our donations to charities.

Winter Wonderland

St. Louis County Parks decorates Tilles Park in St. Louis County with lights. They pay charity groups $500 to collect money from cars going through the line to see the lights.

Trivia Night

This is usually a springtime event at a rented hall. It is usually our largest fundraiser of the year. A fun night for all involved.

Raffle

Now our main fundraiser is a raffle offering three nice prizes. Only 250 tickets are sold. In 2020 the drawing was at our Twentieth Anniversary meeting on October 6, 2020. In 2021, we held a Spring raffle. Again only 250 tickets were sold.

Holiday Nuts Sales

We sell holiday nuts each year as a holiday fund raiser.

Peanut Days

Spring and Fall we stand outside a local grocery store collecting donations usually in return for a bag of peanuts or a candy bar.

Restaurant Days

We work with local restaurants. Usually the restaurant issues a special coupon. When presented with your order, the restaurant donates a portion to Kiwanis. In 2021, our event will be at Texas Roadhouse in Ballwin on Thursday, October 14.
