On May 18, 2022, C-U Kiwanis celebrated 100 years of serving the children of our community at a centennial gala dinner. Cornerstone to this event was the celebration of a $25,000 donation for the Champaign Park District’s Martens Center.

The Martens Center will be a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility providing opportunities to meet, play, exercise and learn.
