WALNUT VALLEY KIWANIS has numerous projects and fundraisers that have been developed over the years, and continue to change along with the changes in the community and in the membership of the club.


MAJOR FUNDRAISERS:

  • In 2011, our 23rd Annual Golf Tournament Classic was held on Monday, May 9, 2011.  The golf tournament is shared equally by the Walnut-Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station Boosters and the Walnut Valley Kiwanis, as is the proceeds.  The Sheriff's Boosters provide the support for the Sheriff's Station without which it could not function efficiently. The Boosters basically have this one event for their funding. Many people and businesses sponsor or donate to this event.

  • SERVICE PROJECTS
  • Serving the Communities of Diamond Bar, Walnut & Rowland Heights, the following are a few of the service projects of our club:

    • The 42nd Annual Chapman Awards was held on May 12, 2011.  Almost 90 students were recognized from the High Schools of the Walnut Unified School District, the Rowland Unified School District and Diamond Ranch of the Pomona Unified School District.  One of the 8 scholarships awarded was made to a graduating senior of one of the Key Clubs sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Walnut Valley.  (This one scholarship is open to all graduating members of those 3 Key Clubs, in the High Schools of Walnut, Diamond Bar, and John A. Rowland.  In order to apply for the Joe Dyer Memorial Scholarship, you must be an active member of one of the 3 Key Clubs listed above.  Please click on this link for the Joe Dyer Memorial Scholarship application. [submission deadline for 2011 was April 22, 2010].  The submitted applications are used for consideration for the Key Club-eligible Joe Dyer Scholarship awarded at the annual Chapman Awards Ceremony.)    Please click here to view pictures from a recent event.  Additionally, 7 middle schools recognize students for leadership and service, adding an additional 14 plaques. 
    • Walnut Valley Kiwanis is a founding sponsor of the Diamond Bar Relay for Life, benefiting the American Cancer Society. Many diverse elements of the community are brought together for this 24-hour event.

    • Isaiah's Rock -- Community Food Bank & Support Group (at Thanksgiving, they serve around 850 families; at Christmas they serve over 1,600 families -- more than 5,000 people -- and need many volunteers to make this happen; thanks to the Walnut and Diamond Bar Key Clubs, they have many, many eager volunteers).

    • Buckboard Days in Rowland Heights features a great parade.  Starting at 7 a.m. on Sat., Oct. 25, 2008, the Walnut Valley Kiwanis again served their Famous Pancake Breakfast.    Many thanks to the various individuals, organizations and businesses who contributed or advertised to make this such a resounding success!
