Honoring Tom Evans
WHERE
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world, one child and one community at a time.
WHEN
Kiwanis will positively influence communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.
WHO
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club. Members stage approximately 150,000 service projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
WHY
Impacting communities — K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; Circle K clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults with disabilities.
Tom wholeheartedly supports the Kiwanis’ mission of ‘improving the world, one child at a time.’
Create a Team Building Activity by Supporting Children in Crisis
Companies can support a team-building activity by purchasing 150 Kiwanis Bears and giving them to a nonprofit of their choice or one of our many partnering non-profits.
Your purchase of 150 bears allows you to imprint your logo with our Kiwanis logo. This 12 in. bear features an embroidered heart on both palms, and it comes with a large t-shirt. The dedication card reminds a child in crisis that Buddy Bear is their long-lasting friend.
Teach Children the Importance of Gratitude and Servant Leadership
Instilling gratitude in children goes beyond teaching them to say “thank you.” Teaching them gratitude is about teaching them to appreciate everything they have and teaching them to show generosity and empathy to others.
As a family, you have the opportunity to be a part of teaching children how to help other children who are in crisis. The Tom Evans’
“Hey, Buddy! Bear” Program is designed to give a friend to needy children. Sponsor bears bring your children to a designated nonprofit partner to provide these bears. Use this time as a teaching lesson.
