More than 3,000 humanitarians in over 100 Kiwanis Clubs across the State of New Jersey donated almost 2/3 of a million dollars, volunteered over 1,000 hours per week, and completed over 100 projects per month in the period from October 1, 2005, to September 30, 2006. During that period the New Jersey Kiwanis District also opened new Clubs in Summit and Metuchen. Major efforts by the New Jersey Kiwanis District included $70,000 towards the 10-year $500,000 Children's Specialized Hospital Project, major donations to each of several different autism organizations, sponsorship of the Kiwanis Youth Leadership Program, high school and college scholarships, grants for reading tutors in 3 Counties (Burlington, Camden, Gloucester), a grant for therapeutic horseback riding, a grant for Court Advocates for Children, and more. In a major effort by the Kiwanis-sponsored New Jersey Key Club District, high school students raised $92,000 for pediatric cancer through Alex's Lemonade Stand projects across the State.
The New Jersey District Kiwanis Foundation sponsored the Inaugural New Jersey Shore Walk at Manasquan Beach in Manasquan, NJ. September 30, 2006.
