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 was held on Monday, May 11, 2009.  The golf tournament is shared by the Walnut-Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station Boosters and the Walnut Valley Kiwanis. 
  • Our next golf tournament is scheduled for:
  • May 17, 2010 -- Golf Tournament

    • Here are some of the major projects we work on every year:
    • 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).
    • 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]
    • The 41st Chapman Awards will be held on May 13, 2010.  90-100 students are 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 also awarded will be to a graduating senior of one of the Key Clubs sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Walnut Valley and is open to all graduating members of those 3 Key Clubs, in the High Schools of Walnut, Diamond Bar, and John A. Rowland.  Please click on this link for the Joe Dyer application. (submission deadline for 2010 is April 20).  The submitted applications are used for consideration for the Joe Dyer $500 Scholarship awarded at the annual Chapman Awards Ceremony serving the High Schools of the Walnut Unified School District, the Rowland Unified School District and Diamond Ranch of the Pomona Unified School District.  The application is similar to the one used for the general scholarships offered to Key Club members by the CalNevHa District Foundation.

  •  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.

    • In 2009, our 21st Annual Golf Tournament Classic was held on Monday, May 11, 2009.
