Our Kiwanis Club is a 501c3 non-profit and we rely on the generosity of donors to fund our programs and services. To raise funds, we hold various events throughout the year. Listed below are some of our current fundraisers.
Carnitas and Margaritas Feed
The Carnitas and Margaritas Feed is our flagship fundraiser sponsored by the City of Elk Grove and supports the majority of our programs. This year our event will be on May 3rd, 2025 and features an all-you-can-eat carnitas dinner with all the fixings, margaritas (of course), beer, a huge raffle, dessert auction, and silent auction. We appreciate the support of all our local restaurants and businesses for their donations. Tickets are on sale now via Zeffy or the link below! Adults are $45, kids 3-10 are $25 and a table of 8 is $320 (save $40).
We love putting smiles on the faces of children and helping parents and this is exactly what the Egg My Yard fundraiser does. Parents purchase prefilled plastic Easter eggs (filled with candy and toys) and then on Easter eve we hide the eggs on the front lawn and leave a basket, treat and personalized letter from the Easter Bunny. This fundraiser is only available in the Elk Grove zip codes of 95624, 95757 and 95758. Sign Ups are now available! Click HERE to purchase your eggs.
Whiskey & Wine Tasting Fundraiser
Save the date for an evening of fine wine and whiskey tasting with fantastic appetizers and desserts. Our next event will be held on 11/8/25 at the beautiful Wackford Event Center. Tickets on sale in September.
Halloween Home Tour
When the pandemic hit, we had to rethink how we fundraised. The Halloween Home Tour was one of the fundraisers that was started and it has become a fun annual event for the Elk Grove community. Homeowners register their Halloween-themed homes with us and we put them on a map. Business owners sponsor the event with swag, candy and other Halloween goodies for gift bag. And then for a donation, you can purchase a map (with fun swag bag) of the Halloween homes in our Elk Grove zip codes. Make it a girls night, date night or family night – but it will definitely be fun!
Congratulations to our winners for the 5th Annual Halloween Home Tour! Our SCARIEST home winner was Home #8 (Jenny Lynn Way) and the FAVORITE winner was Home #6 (Los Encantos Circle).
Pints for PTP / 99 Beers & a Yeti
Our Kiwanis club raises funds for every year for the Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) which aims to reduce or eliminate injuries to children with a fundraiser we like to call Pints for PTP and a raffle called 99 Beers and a Yeti. The fundraiser is held every year at Flatland Brewing Company in the month of March and the drawing coincides with the Pints for PTP event. We raffle off a Yeti cooler valued at $300-$500 (value changes each year) and all the beer is donated by local craft breweries. To date, we have raised over $10,000 for the Pediatric Trauma Program! Raffle tickets are now available! Text 916-296-5907 to purchase a $20 chance to win a $350 Yeti cooler and 99 craft beers.
