Sponsored Programs  

Our funding comes from two major fundraising activities.

Each August Fairfield Kiwanis can be found manning Gate 13 in nearby Mount Pleasant as campers arrive for the Old Threshers Reunion. Kiwanians register campers and field complaints as well as checking out those campers when it is time for them to depart. Kiwanians put in between 1,500 and 2,000 man hours at this event, ending the day after Labor Day.

Close on the heels of OTR is the annual Kids’ Day Parade and pancake breakfast, our other fundraiser, which is the third Saturday in September.

All events are free except the breakfast, at which we have served over 2,100 people each of the last two years. There is a parade, petting zoo, face painting, clowns, barrel train rides, entertainment, pony rides and varied activities throughout the day.

In addition to these major fundraising activities, Fairfield Kiwanis also has a Chuckwagon, which is available for auctions, horse shows, or other events where food is needed. This is manned by members of the Fairfield Kiwanis who cook and serve sandwiches as well as beverages, chips and candy bars.
