Des Moines Kiwanis HistoryThe Des Moines Kiwanis were founded in 1920 with a Charter membership of 150, is the third oldest club west of the Mississippi. In 1947, the club began the football jamboree as its major fund raiser. In 1974, it became the Basketball Jamboree, and, as such, it is the longest continuously held charitable event in central Iowa. Comprised of every young men's and young women's team in the CIML, the Jamboree has raised over $1 million for local charities. While
we continue the Jamboree, we also engage in a variety of other fundraisers
and service projects. Kiwanis International Kiwanis clubs sponsor Kiwanis youth organizations which provide young people with opportunities to perform community service and develop leadership skills. From elementary up through the collegiate level, Kiwanis reaches out to those in need and develops future generations of leaders. Check
