ABOUT KIWANIS

 

Our story is rooted in making the Bartlesville community a better place to live and enjoy life for adults and — you guessed it — children. As a club, we host various service projects throughout the year, including Freedom Fest and the Christmas parade. Our biggest project runs every weekend during the summer, and that’s Sooner Junior, which also helps fund the scholarships we present to students in May. We want our community to thrive, which takes the work of several nonprofit organizations, not just Kiwanis, so we proudly help support those organizations whose missions align with ours.
