Island Park Kiwanis Club raise over $2,000 from annual lobster bake fundraiser

Posted

The Island Park Kiwanis Club hosted its annual lobster and steak dinner at Masone Beach Aug 4. The dinner serves as a fundraiser for the club, Island Park Kiwanis. All told, between $2,600 and $2,800 was raised. The money raised will benefit children and families of Island Park and beyond. The club will vote to see where these funds will go and plan to use some of the funds raised to award a scholarship this year to a graduating senior from Island Park.

In the past, the funds have gone towards sending local children from low-income families to Camp Kiwanis, pediatric trauma units donated to the fire department, and The Eliminate Project, which provides tetanus shots for pregnant mothers in countries abroad.
