Introducing Redmond Kiwanis

Our Mission

The Kiwanis Club of Redmond improves the lives of the youth and families of Redmond and the surrounding communities through increasing hours of service, dollars of support and by acting as positive role models for the youth and future leaders of the community.

Our club is proud to serve Redmond with an emphasis on projects that benefit youth-oriented programs. The club's single biggest fundraiser is the Vintner's Dinner each May. It's a celebration of fine food paired with fine wine, offering a silent and live auction along with several raffles.

The Redmond Kiwanis Foundation was established in 1966 and has become a major bricks-and-mortar contributor in the community. The single largest project was the construction of the Kiwanis Cascade Swim Center which opened in 1979. The foundation has dedicated funds for parks improvements, Redmond High School athletics and high school and college scholarships. The foundation is governed by a five-member board, elected by and from Redmond Kiwanis membership.

Michelle presents a check for $500.00 to Jennifer Zardinejad

Jennifer Zardinejad, area manager for the SMART Reading Program, shared their very impactful story at our 9/21 meeting. Their goal is to create joy and opportunity for kids through the magic of reading. In Redmond, every Kindergartner at Hugh Hartman school is part of this program which involves 1-1 shared reading with a mentor and distribution of books that the child gets to pick out and keep.
