You or your business can help sponsor the American Flag Project!
The Flag Project is a fundraiser and service project for the La Crosse Kiwanis Club. The Flag Project promotes patriotism and awareness of the Kiwanis Club in our community. In addition, the Flag Project is one of our club’s fundraisers that provides financial support for our local youth focused programs (see below).
Kiwanians provide all the volunteers for the Flag Project. Through your sponsorship Kiwanians determine the locations of the American flags, construct the flag poles and holders, install the underground holders/sleeves and most importantly, place (plant) and remove (harvest) the American Flags four times per year (key holidays in the summer months: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day. The flags are typically displayed for 3-5 days at each holiday (plant before the holiday, harvest after the holiday).
