We are a growing, thriving service club that supports youth through service projects, fundraising activities, and strategic partnerships. Our mission is to positively impact all Escanaba youth as we empower our community through service. You can engage with us by:
On Monday night, the Escanaba Kiwanis Club gathered for our annual dinner; a night to share a meal, reminisce about the year behind us, and celebrate the people who make this club what it is.
We were proud to welcome new members Cory Gray and Martanna Schroeder to the Kiwanis family, and we took a moment to recognize two members whose dedication speaks for itself:
👏🏻 Warren Isaacson — 50 years of service 👏🏻 Dennis Pearson — 45 years of service
That kind of commitment is pretty special. And honestly, we're not sure there's enough cake to celebrate 95 combined years of Kiwanis service. 😉
Looking back, the numbers from this past year tell a pretty great story, too:
⏰ 492 service hours across 20 activities 🙋 19 Kiwanis members serving alongside 59 guest volunteers 💰 $22,936.09 donated to 32 causes
Those numbers represent filling Christmas baskets with St. Vincent de Paul, feeding the athletes and spectators at the Special Olympics basketball game, cleaning up along M-35, running the Spring Expo, and finding all kinds of ways to serve the children and families in our community.
To every Kiwanian who gave an hour, organized an event, showed up early, stayed late, or simply asked, “how can I help?” — and to the 59 friends and community members who volunteered with us this year — thank you for jumping in and being part of the work.
Here's to another year of serving, laughing, eating, occasionally getting a little messy, and making a difference together. 🎉 … See MoreSee Less
Over the weekend, our Kiwanians geared up with safety vests and trash pickers and headed back out to our stretch of M-35 in Ford River for our fall highway cleanup.
There’s something pretty special about having people who are willing to give their time to take care of the place we call home. And we’re especially grateful for Dennis Pearson, whose passion for this project and willingness to organize it keeps this tradition going. 💙
To Dennis and all of our cleanup crew: thank you for showing up, pitching in, and leaf-ing our corner of the U.P. a little better than you found it. That’s what service is all about.
Yesterday, Kiwanians showed up with pride to present a $500 donation to the Northern Lights YMCA – Delta Center Capital Campaign, and left feeling more inspired than ever about what's coming for our community.
We were honored to be welcomed by Associate Executive Director Caron Salo, who gave us an inside look at the progress on the new Aquatics Center, a tour of the Delta Center, and some wonderful history about this incredible facility. It is clear that this project is something truly special for Escanaba and the surrounding area.
The Northern Lights YMCA is currently in the final stretch of their campaign, and right now, every dollar is being DOUBLED thanks to the Daniel J. Kobasic Foundation Matching Challenge. They have met over 90% of their goal, and your gift today has twice the impact. 💪
We are so proud to be a small part of something this big. This is exactly the kind of investment that makes our community a place worth showing up for.
Casey Wright & Patricia Rudden having a great time volunteering at the DNR pocket park at the UP State Fair today with a fellow Kiwanis member! 🎡 It’s always a pleasure to give back to our community and share some Kiwanis spirit. Stop by and see us if you’re at the fair! 💙
Escanaba Kiwanians Dennis, Gina and Julie represented our club this weekend in Brookfield, WI for the annual Wisconsin-Upper Michigan District Convention (DCON). We packed a lot into three days! A day at the Milwaukee Zoo, where we picnicked with fellow Kiwanians. Energetic speakers and thought-provoking sessions. Meetings with district leadership. Electing our next district governor. Learning from each other, gathering ideas and making connections to better serve our communities. And, as always, having a ton of fun together! … See MoreSee Less

On this final day of the 2025-2026 Kiwanis year, let’s take a moment and celebrate all that we have accomplished and the impact our clubs have made.
Congrats to all officers and leadership on a great year and cheers to being retired officially at midnight tonight!
Special thanks to Governor Paul Shrode on an excellent year of service leading the Wisconsin Upper Michigan District! … See MoreSee Less

🍂 We’ll see you out there again in the spring!
