On September 16th, 2026, the Kiwanis Club of Marietta Golden K and The Kiwanis Club of Lost
Mountain held their Annual Youth Charity Golf Tournament at the BridgeMill Athletic Clubin Canton, Georgia. For the past 31 years, the two Kiwanis clubs have hosted this most successful golf tournament, which has become known as the “Tee It Up for the Kids” tournament. Since 1995, the clubs have raised over $1,000,000 for kids.
Thanks to the generosity of many, this Kiwanis youth charity golf tournament for 2026 was very successful. Over 120 companies and individuals donated amounts from $125 to $3,500. Net proceeds of over $34,000 will be distributed to deserving youth charities and Kiwanis-supported programs by the two clubs as well as the Kiwanis Foundation. The slogan for the charity tournament has been aptly named “Tee it up for the Kids” because many Kiwanis-supported organizations receive proceeds as a result of the tournament. Combined membership of Marietta Kiwanis Golden K and Kiwanis Club of Lost Mountain numbers approximately 130 members. Over 10,000 hours of community service were volunteered last year. The focus of Kiwanis is to support and develop international, national
and local youth programs. Our clubs actively sponsor Circle K clubs at the college level, Key Clubs at the high school level, Builders clubs at the Middle school level, Aktion clubs for kids
with disabilities, Terrific Kids, BUGS (Bring Up Grades), K-kids programs, Silver Pen writing contest in elementary schools and reading programs to many area schools.
