Fundraising Not every community service program can be funded with Kiwanis member dollars alone, often we need to reach out to others for help and support. Working together, the Kiwanis Club of Marco Island, our community's fulltime and seasonal residents, other service clubs, organizations, and businesses unite with one shared goal to accomplish ... serve the children of our community.
