Each year we send upwards of twenty five children, fully outfitted.

Sponsorships are $150 and include your name and logo on signs, posters and the thousands of flyers they distribute, as well as on all announcements (including every email they send).

The club is also offering "Program Patrons" for $25. "Program Patrons" will have their names listed on the weekly program distributed each week at the reading.

If you would like to become a sponsor or Program Patron, send your check made payable to "Oceanside Kiwanis" to 68 Yorktown Street, Rockville Centre, NY 11570-- email or include your logo and the listing you want us to print.
