Members of our club help with the annual Fall Festival and put on an annual Christmas party for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake Countys of Wake County. Since 1967, the organization has been providing wholesome, leisure-time programs and activities for the young people of Raleigh and surrounding area.  At its five year-round facilities and a summer camp, the clubs promote the development of children, ages 6 to 14, physically, mentally and emotionally. "Fun With A Purpose" is the slogan that best describes the Club's program. Children like action, lots of it, and they find it at the Boys & Girls Clubs. They are provided with many activities where they can have fun, learn some things, and develop self-esteem. The caring adult staff members are committed to helping young children grow into responsible adults.

The second Kiwanis International Worldwide Service Project was announced in June, 2010. Kiwanis and UNICEF have joined forces for The Eliminate Project to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). This deadly disease steals the lives of 60,000 innocent babies and 30,000 mothers each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating – tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

To eliminate MNT from the Earth by 2015, 120 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take $110 million and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.

If you would like to help in the fight against MNT, please print the donation form to mail with your tax deductible contribution. A gift of $1,250 will make you eligible for a Walter Zeller Fellowship Award.

Kiwanis International launched its first ever Worldwide Service Project in 1994, partnering with UNICEF to protect children from Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD), the world's leading cause of preventable mental retardation. Nearly $100 million was raised, the project was an immense success, and now IDD is virtually eliminated across the globe. Our club raised over $100,000 to help fight IDD.

One of the largest projects ever undertaken by our Kiwanis Club was the financing and construction of a Habitat for Humanity house on Spaulding Street in Raleigh in 1996-1997. The total cost of $46,800 was paid for with $30,000 in contributions from 115 of our members, $2,000 from an Athens Drive High School Key Club fundraiser, and $14,800 from The Raleigh Kiwanis Foundation. 60 of our members worked on the house along with students from our sponsored Key Clubs and other groups.

Our Foster Children's Shoe Program, in partnership with Wake County Human Services and Hudson Belk, provides shoes for Foster Children throughout the year. We also provide funding for Foster Children's Christmas Gifts each year.

We raised over $50,000 in 2004-2005 to help build a Kiwanis Cabin and provide camperships at Victory Junction. Located in Randleman, North Carolina, the summer camp enriches the lives of children aged 6 to 16 who have chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by providing life changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun and empowering, in a medically sound environment. The program offers a week of exhilarating, challenging and nurturing fun under comprehensive, but unobtrusive, 24 hour medical supervision.
