Kiwanis K-Kids Sponsor

K-Kids is a student-led service club for students in elementary/primary school. In K-Kids clubs worldwide, children are learning leadership through service. They’re taking on the responsibility of running a K-Kids club as they plan and participate in community service projects. In big and small ways, they’re changing the world around them. But the most significant change happens in the kids themselves. We are currently sponsoring the following Kiwanis K-Kids clubs:

• Riverside Elementary School
• Harriet Bishop Elementary School

Fundraisers

Our main fundraiser is the Rochester Kiwanis Hockey Festival, which we sponsor along with the 3 other Kiwanis Clubs in Rochester.  In the past 29 years of sponsoring the Kiwanis Hockey Festival, the Rochester Kiwanis Clubs have contributed over $750,000 to our local youth and community projects. 

Other fundraising projects include:

• selling roses by the dozen
• selling Kwik Trip cards
• annual garage sale
