The Centennial Award was created by Kiwanis International for its 100th anniversary to celebrate the organization’s rich history of world-changing service. The award was only available if the gift was made during Kiwanis Centennial year. Each of our recipients received a lapel pin along with a medallion and certificate framed together.
These awards were made possible by anonymous gifts to the Eliminate Project, Kiwanis partnership with UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus—a deadly disease that steals the lives of thousands of innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The proceeds from each Centennial Award will help save or protect more than 800 women and babies from maternal and neonatal tetanus.
