Each year, KJWC solicits recipients for our major fundraising
project. In June, the charitable candidates are put to a vote and a
community recipient is chosen. Secondary candidates may also
receive funds based on our annual earnings budget.
We look for local organizations that contribute to the welfare of
the community, be it not for profit social programs, history or
preservation or specific community projects. All organizations are
asked to complete a funding request application, which enables us to
decide who we wish to support with our monetary gifts.
If you are interested in an
application for next year's charity, please
complete this
charitable application or contact
our Charitable Chairwoman at
charitable@kenoshajuniors.org.
We also have a Scholarship Program that offers two high school
seniors from Kenosha County an opportunity to earn a $2,000
scholarship towards a higher education. Depending on funds
available, secondary scholarships may also be awarded for runner-up
students. Applicants related to a person holding membership in
GFWC-KJWC during the five years prior to application are not
eligible for consideration.
Our scholarship criteria are as follows:
-
Must be a Kenosha County Resident
-
Must attend a
Kenosha County School (public or private)
-
Minimum GPA of
3.0
-
Our selections
will be based on a total person concept, i.e. academics,
community service and leadership.
If you are interested in applying for our scholarship, please

Upon completing the application, please
sign and mail the application along with your transcript to the

Our biggest fundraiser of the year. It
has also become one of the most fun social events of our community.
The event is held in early spring.
At this event,
Kenosha area restaurants participate by serving portions of their
best cuisine. Local liquor distributors provide wine and beer
tastings while local student bands provide excellent entertainment
throughout the evening. In addition, local businesses donate items
for a silent auction, making this a fun and exciting evening for all
in attendance. Tickets for this wonderful event can be purchased
via our website by contacting our ticket chairperson at
info@kenoshajuniors.org. |
