Description

Kiwanis International and Kiwanis Aktion Club is having our annual fundraiser. A big part of our planning committee are young adults with Down syndrome that give back to the community.
We are helping to break the cycle of poverty in Central Florida by raising money at our annual Light Up the Knight dinner and silent auction. Each year we are able to help so many families. We also go out into the community and identify families who have fallen through the charity cracks. 
The funds raised will be used for meals, shoes, backpacks, and toys ( through our Give Kids a Christmas) for the the “Motel Kids”  and other suffering children that reside here in Central Florida. Sadly, the only meals most of these children get are the ones at school. I visit them regularly, and they never seem to have food, or a good pair of shoes that actually fit and aren't falling apart. Thank you so much for your consideration.
