In the spring of 2024 members of our community came together for our first annual Concert & Silent Auction to help raise awareness and funds for the Kiwanis Music Education Fund, a bursary program providing music lessons for kids in need. Featuring Guy Few & Stephanie Mara, as well as several student performers, this was a wonderful afternoon of music making at the Jazz Room in Uptown Waterloo.

We are excited fpr to do this again on December 7th, 2025 with featured performer Shane Guse & musical guests!
