Requests for Funding
We Serve!
The reason the members of the Ames Noon Kiwanis Club work very hard to raise money is to give it back to the children of Ames, Iowa. And we give back every cent of what we earn! Club expenses are paid by members through a separate account than the one we use to save the money you give to us through your generous support of Pancake Days, our annual auction, sweet corn sales, apple sales, gumball sales, and the other fundraising events we sponsor.
