Proceeds to students and colleges

One hundred percent of the net proceeds raised will be donated in the form of scholarships to college bound high school students in the Broward County area, as well as other local charities such as the SOS Children’s Village and Caribbean Heart Menders Association. To date, over $640,000 has been donated.

The event starts at 7pm with a cocktail reception, followed by the serving of dinner at 8pm. Patrons can expect to see a presentation of the club’s year in review, hear from this year’s elected honoree (someone who has been of service to their community), witness the drawing of the gate prize, and dance the rest of the night away to the rhythms of The Code Red Band, and DJ Capone.

Honored to be presiding

“I am humbled and honored to be presiding over this club during this significant year. We are very excited to be celebrating our 20th anniversary, where we continue to focus on the children and the elderly in our community,” said Barry Smallhorne, the Kiwanis Club President. He continued, “Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time, they just have the heart. Our hearts at KCLL beat stronger as we strive to continue to be a beacon shining brightly in the community.”
