San Diego proudly announces our
"Sponsor of the Month"
The Kiwanis Club of Bonita
The Kiwanis Club of Bonita is a community service club of about thirty members. We are a group of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time. We are involved year-round in a variety of service projects.
We participate in Chula Vista’s “Christmas in October” fixing up homes of low income or elderly families. At Thanksgiving and Christmas we purchase and deliver enough food for full family dinners (and more) to dozens of needy families.
We help the Salvation Army ringing bells at the familiar donation pots at Christmas. We collect quarters – over $500 – each year to support Rady Children’s Hospital. Also in support of Children’s, you’ll find Bonita Kiwanians out early in the morning selling Kids Day Newspapers.
The club actively supports our sponsored youth organizations, a Key Clubs at Bonita High School and K-Kids Clubs at Allen and Marshall Elementary School. We are involved year-round in community activities such as Bonitafest and constructing the “Welcome to Bonita” sign on Bonita Road.
For several years we have been active supporters of StandUp For Kids. SUFK’s Rick Koca is an honorary member of our club. We have donated money, clothing, and supplies to the San Diego center. More importantly, we have spread the word and enthusiasm for SUFK throughout the community:
other Kiwanis Clubs, other service clubs, church groups, and the like. There is a passion throughout the club to reach out to homeless kids and help however we can.

Our team kept a Team Journal, with every member on the team writing one entry. My entry was made at the end of the trip as we traveled back to Indiana, and I used it as a way for me to summarize my experiences in San Diego.
As I look back on our three weeks in San Diego I recall....more
As some of you know, my twin sister Cathy was the
Border Patrol Agent who was killed in the line of
duty on October 25th. Many people have asked what
they can do to help. There is one very important way
that you can help me and also help some homeless teenagers.
Cathy was an outreach counselor at a San Diego based
non-profit organization called STANDUP
FOR KIDS.
There is a huge hidden problem in this country - homeless
teenagers. I have started a "Cathy's
Kids" at STANDUP
FOR KIDS.

took
them to see a recent Guttermouth show at SOMA. As
I watched this particular kid walk away in a ripped
up white T-shirt, drenched in sweat, breathing heavily,
experiencing an unknown high degree of adrenaline
and smiling from ear to ear
to STANDUP FOR KIDS.
It’s never been easier to support STANDUP FOR KIDS
