About Us
The Kiwanis Clubs of Division 13 invite you to attend the fun exciting event that continues to grow and benefit kids through the work of Kiwanis members. A sponsorship or donation is greatly appreciated.
In recent years, the Festival attendance has reached nearly 900 people. Our sponsors are both large and small businesses who support the more than 225 service activities of the Kiwanis Clubs of Division 13. An additional 80 Kiwanis members and friends providing the bulk of the volunteer support to make the Festival a huge success.
All funds raised are directed to community projects for children through local Kiwanis clubs. Over $125,000 was distributed throughout the community, and an additional $30,000 was directed to the Foodbank! Additionally a collection box for canned tuna and canned chicken will be on site for the VA Peninsula Foodbank. 100% of the profits from the Kiwanis Peninsula Seafood Festival goes back into the community.
