We Do It All For The Kids!

WHO WE ARE

The Kiwanis Club of Carefree is a community of civic-minded, patriotic men and women united by a common goal: to enrich the lives of children and young adults in our area.

We are dedicated to creating brighter futures for local children through hands-on support, educational programs, scholarships, and community events.

WHAT WE DO

WE GIVE KIDS A CHANCE TO FLY… solo with instructor in a full sized glider, it is empowering and several kids have continued on to private pilot license training.

WE GIVE KIDS A CHANCE TO EAT HEALTHY… we fund food bank programs for kids with food insecurity during the entire school year, so they are never hungry.

WE GIVE KIDS A CHANCE TO STUDY AND LEARN MUSIC… we fund music instrument purchases and music studio programs to permit kids to create music.

WE GIVE KIDS A CHANCE TO LEARN TO SWIM… we fund swim instruction for all kids at the YMCA every year so that all kids are safe in the water.
