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.
🇺🇸✨ We kicked off our Independence Day celebration at Thursday’s Downey Kiwanis Nighthawk meeting by celebrating something truly inspiring, the promise of our future.
We were honored to welcome Xiomara Elizarraras, a proud Downey Kiwanis Scholarship recipient and current Stanford University student studying international law.
Xiomara shared her journey of growing up in Downey, graduating from Downey High School, and pursuing her dreams at one of the world’s leading universities. Her story is a powerful reminder of why we invest in our youth because today’s students become tomorrow’s leaders.
We are incredibly proud of Xiomara and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make in the years ahead. Thank you for inspiring us and for representing Downey so well!
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 Together, we continue building a brighter future one student, one scholarship, and one act of service at a time.
