KIWANIS IN ACTION
SPECIAL CHRISTMAS
Special Christmas is one of the Shawnee Kiwanis Club’s most meaningful traditions. Each year, our members shop for children throughout our community to help make their Christmas a little brighter.
Through the generosity of our community and supporters, we are able to provide gifts, necessities, and joy to local children and families during the holiday season while creating memories that will last for years to come.
PANCAKE FEED
Held on the first Wednesday of April from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, the Shawnee Kiwanis Pancake Feed is a community tradition that brings people together for a great meal and a great cause. Proceeds support Kiwanis programs including Little Olympics, Special Christmas, and scholarships for local students.
LITTLE OLYMPICS
Since 1933, Little Olympics has been a Shawnee tradition held each year on the first Friday in May. The event gives local children a chance to stay active, challenge themselves, build confidence, and enjoy a day of fun and friendly competition in a positive and encouraging environment. For many participants, competing for the coveted Golden Track Shoe makes the experience even more special and memorable.
