January 2025 Highlights

RECENT PROJECTS

This past month, our club has been working hard to prepare for our two biggest events of the year: the Jenkintown Sunset 5K Run and the Special Athletes Basketball Tournament! Both events are now open for registration, sponsorships, and volunteers. Read on for more details.

We’re also proud to share that the Kiwanis Club of Jenkintown has been named the 2025 recipient of the Munn and Mimi Steelman Legacy Award, recognizing our club’s dedication to service and support of the Abington Aktion Club. We are deeply honored to be part of this meaningful legacy.

This past month we were delighted to host The Center at Hampton House and Storybook Musical Theater as part of our on-going speaker series and learn about the meaningful work these organizations provide to the community.
