Service Opportunities

Service Opportunities for Travel Basketball Players

Service is one of the key values of the Hudson Kiwanis organization. Teaching to give back is a wonderful opportunity for children to see that they are important enough to make a difference in someone’s life in addition to their own. Working within or outside the community providing service allows children the opportunity to see and touch people’s lives with different backgrounds, abilities, ethnicities, ages, and education. Allowing your children to give back can be a very important and gratifying experience.

One of the biggest fundraisers for the Hudson Kiwanis organization is the Hudson Hoops Classic. Money generated from these weekend tournaments will be given back to serve our community, scholarships, and our local schools. You will be asked during the season to give up a few hours of your time to volunteer at this event. It is critical that we have your participation in order to make these tournaments a success for our teams, our children and our community.

We are also working towards a service opportunity for the Hudson Kiwanis travel basketball players. If you have ideas for service projects, please reach out to the Service Director or a member of the travel basketball committee.
