Message from the President -
I am Bob Larsen, and I am honored to have been elected to serve as President of your Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund for the next two years. Serving as President of the Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund is my ultimate Kiwanis Legacy. I am excited to continue the long history of the CNH Children’s Fund, the long-term impact your CNH Children’s Fund will have on the children of California, Nevada, and Hawaii, and the opportunities available to our members’ clubs so that they can continue to provide service that “builds a better future for our children.” As you browse our website, please consider contributing to our work that benefits the youth in California, Nevada and Hawaii.
Since 1965, your CNH Children’s Fund has provided nonpareil enrichment of our youth. As a club, please consider supporting your CNH Children’s Fund with a Founder’s Day gift that is substantial to your club. Your club’s gift provides young adults with leadership training, awards scholarships to students, funds our innovative Pediatric Trauma Programs for Kiwanis clubs and Youth Leadership Programs, and our six Partner Hospitals within California, Nevada, and Hawaii. For more information and to make a gift, please visit cnhfoundation.org/foundersday.
When planning impactful club projects in your community, consider whether a grant from your CNH Children’s Fund would help increase that impact. You can download grant guidelines, instructions, and applications at https://cnhkiwanis.app.box.com/v/Grantmaking.
I invite you to join me as a Visionary Fellowship member by donating $500 or more to our YES! Initiative. You can begin that journey by making a one-time gift of at least $500 to the YES! Initiative, or by making a monthly gift of $50. Kiwanis clubs can also participate in our YES! Initiative by joining our Vision Club with a cumulative donation of $1,965 or more to the YES! Initiative. For more information and to donate, please visit cnhfoundation.org/yes.
Finally, if you are visiting us from outside our organization, welcome! Please explore our website and discover the impact our donors make in communities across California, Nevada, and Hawaii. I invite you to also contribute to our work by making a financial donation at cnhfoundation.org/donate.
Thank you again for this opportunity to lead your Cal-Nev- Ha Children’s Fund. I invite you to share in the impact the CNH Children’s Fund is making for the youth of California, Nevada, and Hawaii.
Bob Larsen, President 2024-2026
