Kiwanis Club of Polk City Virtual Christmas Treasures Silent Auction

 The Kiwanis Club of Polk City is hosting a virtual Christmas Treasures Silent Auction beginning tomorrow, November 26 through Sunday, December 6. We hope many will participate in the auction as we hope this will be a large fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club for 2020. As you know, this has been a difficult year for most non-profits trying to raise money for their causes. Our cause, in the Kiwanis Club of Polk City, is to return the funds raised back to the community for services and programs which focus on children and families such as North Polk High School Senior Scholarships, money for food for families in need, money to assist the North Polk Schools summer lunch program, playground equipment and park benches and tables, and many other services and programs.

We will post the auction details tomorrow so you can join in and purchase some of the 85 +  donated items from local businesses.

Some of the Polk City Business contributing are:

Fareway
Polk City Liquor
Meraki Mama Boutique
Polk City Nutrition
Papa's Pizzeria
Reising Sun Cafe
Polk City Pub
Sands Massage
Applebees
Nelson Auto
Fender's Brewery

Mary Kay Representative, Donita Cook
Gary Heuertz

We thank all those local businesses and people for donating items to be included in the Kiwanis Club of Polk City Virtual Christmas Treasures Silent Auction!

Donate to the Kiwanis Club of Polk City

 The year 2020 has been tough on all non-profits due to the Coronavirus! It's been very difficult to plan usual fundraiser events. For example, The Kiwanis Club of Polk City lost over $3,500 this summer just due to Polk City not holding its Four Seasons festival; thereby, eliminating our Kiwanis Food Stand and Barbecue Ad Poster, our biggest single fundraiser event. While the Kiwanis Club of Polk City has been able to hold two smaller, more socially distant fundraiser events (ie., pancakes at Lakeside Church in June, and selling brats/hot dogs during the Fender's Brewery Run this past Sunday), they provided a small amount of needed funds for our community projects and services that focus on children and families within our Polk City/North Polk community.


If you were unable to stop by our brats/hot dogs tent at this past Sunday's Fender's Brewery Run, and would like to, and can, donate to the Kiwanis Club of Polk City's community programs and services, please consider donating through our Venmo account at Polk City Kiwanis, @pckiwanis. Any donations through our Venmo account would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your consideration and support!
