💙 Some speeches inspire. Some speeches stay with you.

This year's Kiwanis Scholarship keynote speaker, Becca Shevlin Toole, delivered a heartfelt message that reminded us all of the power of community, service, and believing in the next generation.

If you missed the event, we encourage you to take a few minutes to read the full transcript of her inspiring speech in the Pine Island Eagle. It is well worth your time and serves as a reminder of what can happen when a community invests in its young people.

Thank you, Becca, for sharing your story, your wisdom, and your voice with our students and our community. 🎓💙

🎓 Congratulations to the 27 outstanding students who received scholarships
from the Kiwanis Club of Greater Pine Island this year!

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we were able to award $27,000 in scholarships in 2026. Over the past 46 years, Kiwanis has awarded more than $500,000 to help Pine Islanders pursue their educational dreams.

This year's keynote speaker, Becca Shelvin Toole, reminded recipients that scholarships are about more than financial assistance:

"It's not about the money. It's about what it represents. It's a community looking at young people and saying, 'We believe in you.'"

She encouraged graduates to use their voices to solve problems, create opportunities, strengthen their communities, and serve others.

Thank you to our members, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who supports
our fundraising events throughout the year. Together, we are investing in the future of Pine Island—one student at a time. 💙
