Kiwanis Celebrates Season Fundraisers

Kiwanis Club of Marco Island is winding down its busy fundraising part of the year having recently completed two very successful events. On February 24th we held our 20th annual Car Show at Veterans' Community Park. Attendance was up from last year, the number of show cars was also up, there were arts and craft vendors for the first time, face painting for the kids, and food and beverages for sale. There were around 30 Kiwanis member volunteers plus several non-member volunteer friends and many MIA Key Club volunteers all working to make this event very successful. The proceeds will go to provide help to the kids in Tommie Barfield Elementary, Marco Island Middle School, Marco Island Academy, and Manatee Elementary Schools. 

On March 2nd, the Kiwanis Club held its ninth Annual Kiwanis Family 5K Run for the Kids. This year there were 164 participants plus 12 Kiwanians and countless numbers of MIA Key Club who volunteered to make this a very successful event. Once again, all proceeds will go to support our local kids. 

Kiwanis Club of Marco Island would like to thank all of our generous sponsors for both the Car Show and the 5K Run, as well as thank the community that came out to support us. We are dedicated to raising funds to support the local kids of Marco Island and the surrounding area. That is what Kiwanis is all about!
