34th ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP GOLF TOURNAMENT - OLD RANCH COUNTRY CLUB
Our primary fundraiser is our Golf Tournament which will be held on Monday, September 8th at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. We are in our 34th year of hosting this exciting event! Last year in 2024, we raised over $100,000 from this event alone for funding scholarships for local area high school students! RONALD McDONALD HOUSE – HAPPY MEALS Four times a year, our club members partner with local businesses to serve warm meals for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House located at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. ANNUAL HOLIDAY BASKETS Each holiday season, we adopt families and provide them with critical items they need. When you think about opening gifts under the tree - many of these families don't even have a tree. Thanks to generous sponsors and our membership, we are able to make the holidays a little brighter for dozens of families. ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP LUNCHEON In June 2024, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) hosted the 2024 LAX Kiwanis Scholarship Luncheon at the Flight Path Museum. The LAX Kiwanis Club was founded in 1954 and has awarded over a million dollars in scholarships thanks to their annual golf tournament. Sixteen well-deserving high school seniors, along with six renewal applicants were recognized. The scholarship opportunity not only provides financial assistance, but also the chance for students to engage with community and civic leaders. Like the Kiwanis Club, LAWA is committed to improving and supporting our neighborhoods while connecting communities. Congratulations to all of the scholarship winners on this extraordinary achievement! ANNUAL YMCA CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS Every year we send a number of children to the YMCA Camp Round Meadow located in beautiful Big Bear, California. Campers enjoy seven (7) nights of lodging, meals, transportation to and from camp, and activities that may include archery, swimming, canoeing, banana boat rides, ropes courses, music activities, zip lines, climbing wall, dodge ball, hiking, arts & crafts, mountain biking, horse riding and more. BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING SPREE Every August we invite 15+ children in need from Westport Heights Elementary School in Westchester, CA to go on a shopping spree at Kohl’s in Westchester. Each child is assigned a Kiwanis Volunteer to help them pick out school uniforms and other back-to-school items. This past year each child was given an allowance of $150! |
