Kiwanis Donates $1,400 to Friends of Whitewater Aquatic and Fitness Center

Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club again donated $1,400 to the Friends of the Whitewater Aquatic and Fitness Center (WAFC) for the Family Partnership Program. The Family Partnership Fund makes the pool and fitness room available to everyone in the community, regardless of income. Families that wish to use the center but cannot afford the fees may apply for financial assistance to join. Raising funds for the Family Partnership Fund is one way that Friends of WAFC can help fulfill its mission of supporting the WAFC to maintain and improve the services provided with the goal of bettering the lifelong health and fitness of the citizens of the Whitewater area. Kiwanis is a regular donor to help the center.

Kiwanian and Friends of WAFC Board Member Steve Ryan hands the donation from Kiwanis to Ron Binning, President of the Friends of WAFC.

Ron Binning, the owner of a local business, Binning and Dickens, who is President of the Friends of WAFC, said, “The Whitewater Aquatic & Fitness Center (WAFC) continues to be an outstanding facility for the local residents of Whitewater and the surrounding area.

With the continued support of the Whitewater Kiwanis Club and the rest of the community, the Friends of WAFC will serve to promote good health and fun for the public of all ages.”

Lorrie Koppein, President of Kiwanis said, “Kiwanis is pleased to be able to help support the Whitewater Aquatic and Fitness Center and the community it serves. The donation helps to provide scholarships to community members qualifying for WAFC programming. In this way, all residents of Whitewater and the surrounding area can take advantage of this wonderful facility.”
