Our Big Event

Aiken's Cookin' with Celebrity Chefs
June 8th  7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

   at

 

The Willcox

 

 

Every successful non-profit has at least one fundraiser a year. Have you ever wondered why?  Is it simply to see who can have the most fun, create the most excitement, be the most creative, or most importantly raise the largest amount of money?  Well, it's actually all of this, but so much more! A fundraiser is an event held to raise the awareness of a cause. Our cause is related to doing all we can to prevent suicide; to giving a single mother and her child a place to settle; to brightening a new mother's day through an educational visit; and to serving a population disabled by mental illness.

 

100% of the money we raise at our event supports our causes! 

 

Providing supportive housing to 5 homeless mothers and their children costs around $250 a day.

 

With $150 we can give 50 new mothers Welcome Baby gift bags.

 

Preventing suicide through community outreach and supporting those affected by suicide loss costs only $75 a month.

 

A Christmas gift, a meal and a social gathering for an adult with a mental disability costs only $50

Kiwanis One Day

   

 Kiwanis One Day

 

 

Nurture Home was the site for this year's Kiwanis One Day event. Every Spring, The Kiwanis Club of Aiken, USCA's Circle K Club and the Key Clubs of Midland Valley High School and Silver Bluff High School plan a community event. This year, Nurture Home was selected for a day of "good old-fashioned yard work".  After 4 hours of work with a short burger break, I'm convinced we should have called in HGTV to film this amazing makeover! Thank you so much, Kiwanis friends and family!

I hope you plan to join us this year for Aiken's Cookin' with Celebrity Chefs as we start a new tradition at The Willcox. We'll enjoy good food,  a good time with friends and share in the celebration of our causes and their importance! 

 

 

Gratefully,
