The Kiwanis Club of Lafayette is a wonderful organization that hosts our annual football jamboree which allows my school to profit a substantial amount of funds that are very helpful in terms of buying training supplies, which are essential to the well being of our football players. This organization puts on the best jamboree I have ever been involved with and I have been coaching for 30 years. My coaches,players,fans definately look forward each year to this first class event!!
CYT Lafayette and Kiwanis of Lafayette share more than our wonderful city in our name, we share the same vision to invest in kids in our community and to insure a bright future for them. We are so privileged to work with these men who take their compassion for children and resources to changes lives. What a rare quality in today’s world!
Thanks Kiwanis of Lafayette for believing in CYT and what we do. You have helped pave the way for many children to be profoundly impacted by your generosity.
Sincerely,
