Happy International Day of Families!

Thank you for all of your support and impact you make in the lives of children and families in your community.

What is International Day of Families?
The International Day of Families is observed annually on May 15 to promote awareness of issues relating to families and increase knowledge of social, economic, and demographic processes affecting them. Proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993, this day highlights the importance of families as the foundational unit of society.

Troy Club makes TOP 10 in the Kiwanis Signature Project Contest!

A record-breaking 590 clubs submitted projects that serve kids in 46 Kiwanis districts all over the world. Each Kiwanis district selected its nominees. Members of the Kiwanis International Board of Trustees then reviewed the district winners and selected finalists in each of two groups based on club size. This year, a tie resulted in 11 finalists from Group I — clubs with 27 or fewer members. Below, in alphabetical order according to district, are the Group I finalists.

Harvesting Hope: Healing Begins with US (Kiwanis Inspired Teens Fund)

Michigan District

The Kiwanis Club of Troy’s fundraiser brings over 100 members of the community together for hors d’oeuvres and wine from local restaurants, music and entertainment, a silent auction, raffles — but most of all, for the opportunity to learn more about mental health assistance. Proceeds from Harvesting Hope benefit the club’s KIT (Kiwanis Inspired Teens) Fund. In Michigan, nearly 60% of teens experiencing mental health issues have trouble accessing help, either because of financial barriers or monthslong wait times. The KIT Fund helps alleviate the cost of mental healthcare, and the club works with clinical providers and schools to help students get counseling within 24 hours. In just two school years, Harvesting Hope and the KIT Fund have supported 17 students who were struggling to access mental health services and scheduled 134 therapy sessions for young people.

Best of Luck to the Kiwanis Club of Troy MI!
