Community Involvement
Over the years, the Kiwanis Club of Carefree has contributed greatly toward the community. Here are just some of the major projects you may see as you drive through our community, or have had the chance to use on occasion.
Mobility Equipment Loans
Originally started by Kiwanis Carefree, then turned over to the Foothills Caring Corps for better community availability, they provide mobility devices such as wheelchairs, walkers and more to community residents, free of charge.
Kiwanis Splash Park
A scorpion named “KIWANI” resides in the center of the splash pad, and ‘comes to life’ unexpectedly, creating a level of interactivity and a unique team play experience. This exciting focal point of the area, combined with nearby ground spray jets, creates a magical, nature-inspired play environment for youngsters!
Carefree Sundial
The Kiwanis Club of Carefree acquired the sundial property in 1976 and gifted it to the Town of Carefree in 1988. It is maintained and dedicated to the memory of Fellow Kiwanis member Kenon Turner (K.T.) Palmer (1899 – 1976).
And many more contributions to organizations throughout the Desert Foothills area …
