The Chesterton Duneland Kiwanis Trash to Treasure Sale at the Duneland YMCA was a huge success! This year we added a special Thursday evening pre-sale and sponsored tote bags for easy shopping. This event could not take place without the help of the Duneland YMCA, The Duneland School Corp and volunteer students, Trout Glass and Cheryl Bonin Real Estate/Storage. All proceeds go directly back to local community organizations that focus on children! We thank all of our volunteers and sponsors that made this such a fun, successful community event!

Help us fill the box for parents with children at Riley’s Children’s Hospital!

Our local Kiwanis group collects items for parents with kids at Riley’s Children’s Hospital. The box is currently located at the taproom. Would you consider bringing just one item for the box? A list of wanted items is on the side of the box. Thank you in advance!

Our club was thrilled for the opportunity to participate in the St. Baldrick's Foundation event at Red Cup Cafe this past Saturday. The money raised at the event will aid the research for cures through St. Baldrick’s, the largest charity funder of childhood cancer grants. We look forward to supporting this cause every year! Thanks to the great folks at Red Cup Cafe for hosting!
