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.

  • In 2009, our 21st Annual Golf Tournament Classic will be held on Monday, May 11, 2009 (see last paragraph, below).

    • Serving the Communities of Diamond Bar, Walnut & Rowland Heights,

    the following are a few of the service projects of our club:

    • Walnut Valley Kiwanis is a founding sponsor of the Diamond Bar Relay for Life, benefitting the American Cancer Society. Many diverse elements of the community are brought together for this 24-hour event.
    •  Buckboard Days in Rowland Heights features a great parade.  Starting at 7 a.m. on Sat., Oct. 25, 2008, the Walnut Valley Kiwanis began serving their Famous Pancake Breakfast.  Next Year: Come on out & have some fun & a great breakfast!  Many thanks to the various individuals, organizations and businesses who contributed or advertised to make this such a resounding success!
    • Sponsorship of the Key Clubs of Diamond Bar & Walnut High Schools. These young adults learn leadership, unity of purpose, and perform community service.  They also have FUN!
    • John A. Rowland H.S. Key Club & Mt. SAC Circle K Club are in the midst of being chartered.
    • Chapman Awards – High School Student Scholarships & Recognition.  91 Plaques of Recognition & 8 scholarships, covering 7 high schools in 3 school districts.  The 39th Awards were held May 8, 2008.  Please click here to view pictures from this event.  Additionally, 7 middle schools recognize students for leadership and service, adding an additional 14 plaques.
    • Christmas Food Baskets (140+ needy families & extras sent to foodbanks)  Please click here to see photos from this event.
    • Isaiah's Rock -- Community Food Bank & Support Group (at Thanksgiving, they serve around 850 families; at Christmas they serve over 1,400 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).
    • Mt. SAC-LA84 Youth Days (each year, these track and field events attract more than 7,000 kids -- grades 3 to 8 -- who are served by the Walnut Valley Kiwanis Club and their Sponsored Youth.)  Please click here to view pictures.
    • Childrens Miracle Network [Pediatric Trauma – LA Childrens Hospital]

     In order to pay for these and our many other charitable works, we hold various fundraising events, and solicit funds for advertising on our Pancake Breakfast placemats.

    Please note that 100% of all service project income is used for funding our charitable works. Service project/public fundraising income must be used solely for that purpose. No public monies can be used for the administration of the Kiwanis Club.

    Our major fundraiser is our Annual Golf Tournament held in conjunction with the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station Boosters.  The income from this event is split equally by both organizations.  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.

    The Annual Golf Tournament is held at the Via Verde Country Club in San Dimas.

    • In 2009, our 21st Annual Golf Tournament Classic will be held on Monday, May 11, 2009.
    • In 2008, our 20th Annual Golf Tournament Classic was held on Monday, May 12.
