Kiwanis Annual Events

Many times individuals approach our Kiwanis members and don't have any idea we do or how we do it. Through our fundraising efforts, Kiwanis Club of South East Volusia County support children and young adults in the community.

In a typical year Kiwanis International invest more than 6.2 million hours and 100 million dollars in their respective communities. The Kiwanis Club of SEVC (New Smyrna) is comprised of roughly 65 local members who donate their time and money to various causes in Southeast Volusia County. Proceeds raised from this event directly benefit children in our community and leave a lasting impression on future generations.
