Fundraisers:
Casino Nights
Most of our funds are raised through our Casino Nights. We own over 30 profesional casino tables which we rent out to churches, corporations and private parties. In most cases we staff these events, charging the venue a per person fee. For as little as 3 hours worth of time we can raise as much as $3,000. In an average year we perform 8-10 casino nights, usually in the months of December - March.
Christmas Greenery Sales
During the month of November, the Adel Kiwanis group sells live Christmas greenery in the Adel community. Most of the $4,000 raised go toward our donation to the ADM Scholarship Fund.
