Kiwanis Club President Cam Kuniej shares, “Like our annual scholarship program and pancake breakfast, our Christmas party is another opportunity for Kiwanis to give back to the community that has always supported us. We’re thrilled to bring joy to children and families this holiday season.”
The event is made possible by the dedication of Kiwanis members, alongside enthusiastic student volunteers from local high schools. It’s truly a community event, full of festive fun and the holiday spirit.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn more about joining Kiwanis Carefree, as the sense of community involvement from events like this can be contagious. Give back, get involved, and make this holiday season one to remember!
