Our 100 year gala will be September 21 at Lutheridge. We are in the process of getting some sponsors. We are trying to reach out to organizations that Kiwanis has helped in the past as well as other businesses that want to support our mission. If you have any ideas, or know of any former Kiwanians with a business that might like to be a sponsor, please let us know or take sponsorship information to them.
Print a copy of the sponsorship information here.
We will also be having a silent auction that night to raise money for our division playground at Eliada Home. Please help us gather items such as tickets, gift certificates, art work, or anything that might bring in some money at the auction. Ask for a gift card donation at your favorite restaurant, or ask a business you frequent to donate something.
Print a copy of the invitation/flyer to take to businesses to ask for donations for our silent auction or give to someone you want to invite to the gala.
The deadline for tickets has been extended until September 10! Buy your tickets here |
