“The holiday season is brightened by these beautiful plants, and the funds raised help us continue to support the great work being done in Whitewater,” said Lorrie Koppein, President of the Kiwanis Whitewater Breakfast Club.

Kiwanis thanks Jim Boyd and the Whitewater Greenhouse for growing such beautiful poinsettias.

The Kiwanis Whitewater Breakfast Club is made up of dedicated volunteers who help both the Whitewater community and the world, all with 100 percent of funds going directly to projects and zero to administrative costs.  Last year, the club distributed more than $20,000, with over half going to the Whitewater Unified School District, including the Ferradermis robotics team at WHS, summer school transportation, shoes for students, Badger Boys State, Badger Girls State, and scholarships.  Kiwanis helped to build the Flowing Well Shelter, the shelters at Starin Park and Treyton’s Field of Dreams, the WHS football field lights and press box, as well as adopting a highway to clean up.  In addition, the group donates to the Whitewater Youth Soccer Club, the Friends of the Whitewater Aquatic Center Family Partnership Fund, the Whitewater Food Pantry, Bethel House and more. More information can be found on the Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club Facebook page.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.
