Kiwanis’ pockets jingling all the more
Kiwanis’ pockets jingling all the more
The Kiwanis Club of Kailua-Kona thanked the Jingle Bell Beach Run Organization for designating it the beneficiary of the 2017 Jingle Bell Beach Run.
Each year at the end of the event, the Jingle Bell Beach Run acknowledges a deserving organization or individual that has gone above and beyond to help the Big Island Community.
The Kiwanis club is a 501(c)(4) locally based Hawaii nonprofit organization that is part of the larger Kiwanis International global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.
Here in Kona, the club is involved with many youth programs and meaningful community activities that make a difference. Some of our projects include providing basic supplies and toys for children in the hospital, helping with homeless children of the Ulu Wini transitional housing complex and working with PATH Hawaii’s bike safety program for children at Kealakehe Elementary School.
