Fundraising:
|
Uptown Kiwanis has two major Fund raisers during the year. Casino Night, typically held in late fall, and the Family Fun Fiesta held in early May. The goal is to raise $10,000 to $20,000 at each event, to provide money for the many projects we sponsor throughout the year.
The club has established an approved 501 c (3) "Uptown Kiwanis Charities Foundation" to which sponsors and donors may make their tax exempt contributions.
|
Casino Night is usually held at the Janet Goeske Center, and includes support from many sponsors, lots of nib lets and hors d'Oeuvres, and an evening of pretend gambling with “funny money” by our guests who have purchased tickets for the event. A number of silent and live auction items are also sold during the evening. It is lots of fun for those who attend, all leaving with a strong sense they have helped fund major community support events.

The Family Fun Fiesta is now held at the Canyon Crest Shopping Centre in
Riverside
. Hundreds who have bought tickets enjoy using them to purchase dinners at various places in the Shopping Centre, followed by entertainment including talented and colorful Mexican dancers. The dancers come from local schools with Elementary age dancers, as well as the very professional Folklore Mexicano Del Sur De California representing dance variations from various geographic corners of
Mexico
.
