About Us

Kiwanis Club had most members present, to win the Large Milk Can Award at Farm-City Dinner.

The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club :

The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club was chartered September 28, 1928, and operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Over these past years, the club has held many events to raise monies, including (but not limited to) Giving Tuesday, Cards For Kids, Pancake Breakfast, Martinis on the River, etc..   The proceeds of these fundraising events are utilized to aid the community in a variety of ways, including (and again, not limited to) sponsoring youth groups, acquiring supplies and provisions to benefit children and children support groups, and providing college scholarships. The Club receives no federal or local funding; all operating costs come from donations or fundraising efforts. 

The Club has enjoyed a rich history over the years, with its members coming from many fields, including accounting, civil service, education, management, medicine, etc..  The Club is 100% run by dedicated volunteers to ensure all monies raised can directly influence the health and well-being of as many children as is possible.

The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club firmly believes cumulative small steps in the right direction can eventually solve seemingly unsurmountable large problems. Through its social media outlet, website, and community awareness events, the Club serves as a resource for community members, addressing concerns and providing pertinent information as needed.  The public is encouraged to volunteer with the Club and work together to build a better community.   The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club’s efforts build strong alliances of people who care about the children and community where everyone resides.

Thank you to fellow Kiwanian and Superintendent Todd Brose for an informative update at last week's meeting on the Career Technical Education Facilities Program (CTEFP) and the exciting opportunities ahead for Red Bluff Union High School District students.

Todd shared that Red Bluff High School currently offers 20 Career Technical Education (CTE) courses and that the district is pursuing Proposition 2 funding for two new construction projects:

🚑 A new 4,500-square-foot Emergency Services building

🏥 A new 3,000+ square-foot Health and Occupational Therapeutic Services building

These facilities would provide expanded opportunities for students while supporting the growth of these valuable programs. Todd also highlighted plans to explore adding a new Criminal Justice pathway under the Emergency Services program.

We're excited to hear that the district received scores high enough to move forward with submitting applications between June and December 2026. Thank you, Todd, for keeping our club informed and for your continued commitment to creating opportunities for local students and strengthening career education in our community!

A big thank you to our very own Kiwanis member, Brent Thompson, for serving as our program speaker this week! Brent shared an informative and engaging update on all the exciting things happening at Simpson University, where he recently stepped into his new role as Chief of Staff/Chief Operating Officer.

Brent gave us a fascinating look at Simpson’s rich history, from its founding in 1921 as Simpson Bible Institute in Seattle to its move to Redding and growth into the thriving university it is today. We were excited to hear that Simpson welcomed its largest freshman class in 2025 and that student housing is currently at full capacity!

He also shared details about the university’s growth and success, including a 50% tuition discount for students living within a 35-mile radius, the development of their football program, five Cal Pac Championships across multiple sports, and future plans for a football field and expanded remote learning opportunities.

Thank you, Brent, for taking the time to share your knowledge and for all you do both at Simpson University and as a valued member of our Kiwanis family!
