The Alamo Kiwanis Club is a cornerstone of service in San Antonio, dedicated to improving the lives of children through charitable fundraising and community involvement. Founded in 1947, we are affiliated with Kiwanis International, a global organization of volunteers committed to changing the world one child and one community at a time. Our sole mission is to raise funds to support children in need, and over the years, we’ve donated nearly $3 million to local children's charities.
We take pride in hosting events that bring the community together for a great cause, helping us make a tangible impact on children’s lives. The Alamo Kiwanis Club is known for its longstanding commitment to service, with a legacy of involvement that has spanned decades and touched countless lives. Our focus is not only on immediate charitable contributions but also on long-term support for organizations that directly benefit children’s health, education, and emotional well-being. Signature Events Our club organizes several major fundraising events that serve as both entertainment for the community and powerful vehicles for charity: Fiesta Noche del Rio: An icon of San Antonio’s cultural landscape, this event has been performed annually at the historic Arneson River Theatre since 1957. Fiesta Noche del Rio features a vibrant celebration of music, dance, and culture, showcasing the rich heritage of San Antonio while raising funds for local children's charities. K for Kids Charity Golf Tournament: Held each spring at the Quarry Golf Course, this tournament invites golfers of all skill levels to come together for a day of friendly competition and community spirit. The proceeds directly benefit our mission of supporting children in need. Clays for Kids Skeet Shoot: Our fall event, hosted at the San Antonio Gun Club, offers an exciting sporting clay shoot. It provides participants with a unique way to contribute to our fundraising efforts while enjoying a day outdoors. These events have become essential fundraising initiatives that enable the Alamo Kiwanis Club to support local charities like Any Baby Can, the Children’s Bereavement Center, Respite Care of San Antonio, and many more. Our commitment is to ensure that children in the San Antonio area have access to critical resources, whether for healthcare, emotional support, or educational opportunities.
