The 16th Annual Atascadero Kiwanis & Mayors' Winemaker Dinner 

This year's gala will be held in the Atascadero Lake Pavilion.  Festivities begin at 5 p.m. with wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres on the pavilion lanai, followed by a formal gourmet catered dinner with winery owners or representatives at each table. Festivities also include a live auction, a raffle, and a silent auction. Beginning June 1, you can bid on silent auction items using your cellphone on the GiveSmart app.  Text winemaker26 to 76278.  You'll be asked to register and enter a credit card.  Then you can start bidding!

Now in its 57th year of service in the community, Kiwanis has donated over one-half million dollars since that first dinner in 2011. The beneficiaries from our previous fundraisers have included ECHO, Joy Park playground, Boys & Girls Club, Lighthouse Mentor Program, ALF Food Pantry, along with scholarships to graduating seniors, and several other youth and community service projects / programs / causes.

"The Kiwanis Club of Atascadero is excited to host the 16th Annual Kiwanis & Mayors' Winemaker Dinner.  This event was voted  Best Charity Event in the 2025 Best of North County Awards and, earlier this year, the Kiwanis Club was designated the Community Service Organization of the Year by the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce.  We invite you to join us this year to raise funds for the Kiwanis mission . . . improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Join the Fun!
