For the past 20 years, the Cedar Falls Kiwanis Rough Risers have been popping kettlecorn with one purpose in mind: to support and uplift youth in the Cedar Valley. The Kiwanis Kettle Corn for Kids project has always been about more than just providing a tasty snack at local events - It's about making a lasting difference in the lives of children in our community.
Our kettlecorn booth is a labor of love, driven by the shared goal of raising funds for youth programs, scholarships, and other initiatives that benefit young people. But our impact doesn’t stop there. We are proud to have the support of 27 local businesses who sponsor our efforts, recognizing the importance of investing in the future of our youth.
These generous merchants play a crucial role in our ability to continue making a difference. Their contributions help us fund vital programs, ensuring that every bag of kettlecorn sold is an investment in a child's education, well-being, and opportunities for growth.
Each year, as we sell our kettlecorn at Sturgis Falls, 4th Street Cruise, and school events, we are reminded that our work is about more than just selling a snack — it’s about building a stronger, more supportive community for our kids.
We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, volunteers, and those of you who enjoy our kettlecorn, as your support makes this program possible. Together, we are creating a brighter future for the youth of Cedar Valley.
We are:
"Making a better community, one kid and one kernel at a time."
