What wonderful work the foundation
does! What can I do to support this?

Obviously, $2 per member is not enough to
ensure all these worthy projects continue.
The CKDF is open to support in many ways.
Some clubs give $5 or more per member as
their annual contribution.
Some clubs donate items to The Caring
Corner at District events

The Caring corner accepts
handmade crafts that reflect
the values of caring and
service.

Other new items such as
toys, collectibles, gift
baskets, and hobby items
are welcomed.

more information on how
and when to donate!
And then there’s the
Ducky Derby!

Everyone can buy tickets for the Ducky Derby held
annually at the District Convention! You can sell
them to family, friends and business colleagues –

You can donate as a memorial…


In recognition of a Kiwanian who inspired
you!
Flowers last a few days – but a memorial
donation to the CKDF will help with a
lifetime’s worth of service!
Or as a way to honor this year’s club
leaders!


A certificate or plaque is nice…
But think what a difference a contribution to
the foundation will make when the plaque is
shut away in a drawer somewhere!
