SANIBEL-CAPTIVA KIWANIS CLUB Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club members and the Kiwanis Scholarship Awards Program recipients.
The Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club recently announced its Kiwanis Scholarship Awards Program recipients for the 2024-25 school year. A total of $45,500 in scholarships were awarded to 17 students.
They were hosted at a club meeting, where they received congratulations and well wishes.
“The club was particularly gratified to be able to provide this support to our island youth, despite the disruption caused by Hurricane Ian, thanks to the generosity of our local community,” President Jeff Blackman said.
Funds to underwrite the program are raised from fundraisers throughout the year, plus contributions from members and donors. Two scholarships are funded by the Sam Bailey’s Islands Night event.
This year’s recipients were: Brooke Adams, McKenna Adams, Ivy Ankerson, Ben Arensman, Noah Barbot, Ava Binkowski, Sam Lessinger, Arabella Lilleslatten, Riley Mann, Morgan McCarty, Jackson McKee, Kaia Miller, Ronan Pailes, Daniel Romulus, Kiandre Smaller, Daniel Trier and Amy Walker. The Islands Night awards were presented to Morgan McCarty for athletics and Daniel Trier for community service.
Over the past 18 years, the program has provided 399 individual awards, totaling more than $660,000. To be eligible, applicants must reside on Sanibel or Captiva or have parents who work on the islands.
