What We Do

Pretzel Days

Occurring every September, Pretzel Days is an annual fundraising event organized by our club. During this event, members and volunteers distribute pretzels in bags and solicit donations from the public, typically at street corners and shopping centers. The funds raised are used to support various community projects, with a particular focus on initiatives benefiting children and youth.  See our calendar for the specific dates this year!

Who We Support

Key Club Continuing Education Funds (Topaz/Bevington)

Every year, our Kiwanis club raises continuing education funds for the Glenbrook South and Glenbrook North High School Key Clubs through various fundraising initiatives, including Pretzel Days, community/sports drawings, and raffles.

Study Buddies (Youth Services of Glenview-Northbrook)

Study Buddies is a free academic-support program designed for children in grades 1-8. A small group of children is paired with a Study Buddy, who is a volunteer from a local high school or an adult from the community. In addition to providing homework help, the program also focuses on relationship building and mentorship. In addition, volunteer groups provide and serve food to the children beforehand.

Pizza Mania

Our club’s SIGNATURE project. Pizza Mania is an annual fundraising event for the Wesley Child Care Center in Glenview, Illinois, featuring all-you-can-eat pizza from local restaurants, raffles, and other family-friendly activities. It’s a community event that supports the center’s tuition assistance program.
