Many early projects were funded primarily by members “passing of the hat” and of course there was the annual sale of peanuts or fruitcakes or whatever else anyone could come up with.
By far, our best fund raiser is our Pancake Day, which started in the 1960’s. Traditionally, we serve close to 1000 pancake meals! In addition to the pancake meals, our members sell 50/50 raffle tickets. The proceeds from this twice-a-year event provide the funds for our many service projects. These Pancake days have become a tradition in the Bowling Green community.
In recent years, the club has added a spring fundraising activity of selling Daffodils. The daffodils are offered to Kiwanian members, members of the community and local businesses so that they can gift a bouquet of spring daffodils to be delivered to their friends, employee staff members or residents of the local senior living facilities or local shut-ins. The funds raised are placed in the general fund to support the many projects that members participate in.
Another rather new fundraising event is to sponsor a fall Cornhole Community Tournament with the funds being specifically provided to the Wood County Committee on Aging for their “Grandparents raising Grandchildren” Holiday Project.
