WHO WE ARE
We are the Town Center Kiwanis Club of Virginia Beach, an eclectic mix of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds, and interests. We celebrate service-minded members from all walks of life and are passionate about serving the children of our local community through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives to create a better place for children, so that they can thrive. We meet at Bravo Italian Kitchen, in Town Center, for lunch on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month. OUR HISTORY
Kiwanis is a global organization with more than 550,000 members in 80 countries. Town Center Kiwanis Club is 1 of 11 local Kiwanis clubs within Division-14 of the Capital District. The Capital District consists of 20 Divisions across Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, DC. Town Center Kiwanis was originally established on 08/30/1973, as the Kiwanis Club of Pembroke. In 2005, after 50 years of existence, the Suburban Kiwanis Club folded into the Pembroke Club. As part of this merger, it was decided to change the name to Town Center Kiwanis Club. The addition of core members from the Suburban club helped expand our “hands-on” activities into several charities and greatly added to our continued growth and success. WHAT WE ARE DOING THESE DAYS
We make Service and Fundraising…FUN! Our focus is community service, fundraising, and supporting activities throughout Hampton Roads. All our activities are directed towards “child-focused” charities that include valuable partnerships with Special Olympics, Seton House, For Kids, Achievable Dream, and many others. Each month, we focus on a themed, hands-on service project that covers mental health, hunger, homelessness, literacy, child leadership, and so on. Additionally, we have two main fundraisers: Neptune Fest and our Annual Charity Golf Tournament. WHERE WE’RE GOING
Today, you will find us planning and promoting events based on our experience, input from members, and trends that are working. Through guidance and example, the Town Center Kiwanis Club works to develop future generations of leaders. Every day, we are revitalizing neighborhoods, supporting youth programs, awarding scholarships, and performing countless other projects to help children and their communities. JOIN US
If you are looking for a way to give back to the community and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals, come visit us on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month at 12:00 at Bravo Italian Kitchen in Town Center.
