The Downey Kiwanis Foundation was chartered in January 1985. The incorporators were C. Richard Holmes, Richard M. Lehn and Charles Pifer. Since its inception the foundation’s main mission has been providing college scholarships for graduating high school students in Downey. Most recently, the foundation has extended its scholarship program to benefit students in Lakewood. During the 2023 Scholarship Banquet, the foundation awarded over $122,000 in college scholarships to graduating seniors from Downey, Warren, Columbus and Lakewood High Schools.
In addition to college scholarships, the foundation has contributed financially to numerous community projects in Downey such as the ARC, the YMCA, Furman Park, the Columbia Memorial Space Center, among others. The foundation also contributes to the education of young children by its participation in the Downey Theater music education program, the First United Methodist Church child daycare program, and other non-profit organizations.
đź’™Inspiring Noon Program at the Downey Kiwanis Club!đź’›
Today’s program gave our club an opportunity to learn more about the incredible work of the Rancho Violence Prevention and Recovery Program at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center.
Our guests shared powerful perspectives on recovery, resilience, and the life-changing impact that compassionate care and violence-prevention efforts can have on individuals, families, and our community. Their message was a great reminder that sometimes the simplest act—sharing a little kindness—can make a meaningful difference. ❤️
A special thank you to our very own Club President Phil Requejo for bringing this important and inspiring program to the Downey Kiwanis Club!
Kiwanis is about serving our community, building connections, and helping create a better future—one person and one act of kindness at a time.
Thank you to our friends from Rancho for spending your afternoon with us and for the extraordinary work you do every day! 🙌
What an inspiring evening with our incredible KIWIN’S! 💙💛
The Downey Kiwanis Night Meeting had the pleasure of welcoming our KIWIN’S members as they shared highlights from their amazing experience at the KIWIN’S International Convention in Dallas, Texas. From leadership development to lifelong friendships and service opportunities, it was clear they returned energized and ready to make a difference.
To kick off the new school year, they also auctioned off a fantastic gift basket to jump-start their fundraising efforts. What a fun way to build excitement for another year of serving our community!
There is nothing more rewarding than seeing so many dedicated, motivated, and service-minded young leaders. The future is bright, and we’re proud to support these outstanding students every step of the way.
đź‘Ź Thank you to everyone who came out to encourage and invest in our next generation of leaders!
