Key Clubs from several Division 30 South High Schools meet to review past and future projects and have some fun.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim supports seven Key Clubs. Each club plans and participates in community service projects, conducts Key Club meetings, mentors other students and learns valuable leadership skills.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim is proud of its Key Clubs which inspire through their shining service and give everyone faith that the future of this nation is in good hands. KCGA is currently sponsoring the following Kiwanis Key clubs:
Anaheim High School Loara High School Savanna High School Western High School
Katella High School Rosary High School Servite High School
Kiwanis K-Kids Club Sponsor
Our Kiwanis club brings in food and treats and recognizes, supports and encourages the kids, through example, so they feel empowered to do great things in their communities. We support Builders Club service projects, facilitate the Builders Club meetings, provide mentorships. We sponsor the Kiwanis K-Kids Club at Anaheim’s Betsy Ross Elementary School.
Scholarships for High School Seniors
Our annual scholarship awards presentation is held each Spring. In 2019 KCGA presented $30,000.00 worth of scholarship funds to outstanding graduates who were eligible, many from the Anaheim Union High School District. The KCGA scholarship foundation is supported with personal contributions, business donations, estate gifts from our members and several of our fund raising activities. The KCGA Foundation, over the past 50 plus years, has awarded nearly $600,000.00 in scholarship funds to over 430 Seniors. The KCGA Foundation is a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation, founded in December 1965.
Kiwanis High School All-Star Baseball Game
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim sponsored its first Orange County High School All-Star Baseball Game in 1968. Each year this exhibition game and the banquet which precedes it offer recognition to the county’s top graduating senior baseball players. The game provides each player one final chance to compete with other high school players while family and friends are there to send them on to new challenges in their young lives.
2019 marked the 52nd year for this great game. Over the years more than 140 KCGA All-Star players have gone on to compete in Major League Baseball. Many of them played in hundreds of games while others only appeared in a few.
Bringing Up Grades (B.U.G.) Awards
Our Kiwanis club presents nearly 1500 award certificates to elementary school students who have improved their grades or some other aspect of their educational performance. Each teacher in the Anaheim Elementary District chooses two students to receive a B.U.G. Award. A KCGA member attends every school awards ceremony where they personally present each B.U.G. certificate. In most cases these awards are given to students who are not used to getting awards.

May 31, 2023. We had 13 members and about 150 guests at our annual All Star High School Baseball Dinner in Santa Ana tonight and had a great time. The players were all presented to the guests and given copies of their team photos and a Kiwanis Tshirt. This being the graduation season many of the players had other commitments, so we were a little lower on the numbers of players in attendance. We were due to have our “Mr. Baseball”, Benji Medure, the Head Coach at Huntington Beach High School, speak to us but in his absence, due to an urgent family situation, we were well entertained by Jim Campanis, Jr., who stepped up to the plate and told us much about his baseball career. He gave some very good advice to the young players who will participate in the KCGA All Star Baseball Game at Glover Stadium in Anaheim next Tuesday, June 6th. at 6.15p.m. We also got to meet our Miss Kiwanis for 2023, Hannah Karanick. ...

May 18, 2023. We had 12 members at our meeting today and we were entertained by the interesting address from Joe Baldo and Jordan Barrera from Higher Ground Youth and Family Services which is a 501 (c )(3) non-profit, founded in 2012 with the purpose of identifying youth at the elementary, middle and senior schools who are at ‘at risk’ and offering them a support system in a safe and friendly environment. Many of these children experience a variety of obstacles in their daily lives, such as poverty, discrimination, language barriers, abusive situations, addictions, unstable homes, difficulties in school, and peer pressure. Higher Ground aims to have a positive, uplifting impact on their lives through sports, educational support, vocational training, and mentoring programs. ... See MoreSee Less
