The Bozeman Kiwanis Club will provide 100 children’s sandboxes, built by the club, to given to families free of charge, sand included! Sandboxes get our children outside, socializing, and developing creative and constructive skill sets.  The sandboxes will be distributed at the Dinosaur Park off Davis Road on two Saturdays in June the 6th and 11th from 8 a.m. to noon, and Thursday, June 11 from 5-8 p.m. They are available on a first come, first served basis, until all are distributed. Please remember to bring a large drop cloth to carry the sand to the destination. If your vehicle cannot accommodate a 5’x5’ box it can be unassembled with a few screws for transporting.  The sandboxes are made possible by the club with support from community donations to purchase materials.

The sandbox project is one of many the Bozeman Kiwanis Club provides to give back to the community through various outreach programs.  Local projects include: Eliminate, which through Kiwanis International has made great strides to eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus; along with support for Eagle Mount Camp Braveheart, Big Sky Cancer Kids Spaghetti Feed, Hope for the Holidays, Kids in Crisis Backpacks, Fix-Up Festival, and others.  For more information about the Bozeman Kiwanis Club please go to www.kiwanisbozeman.org or “Bozeman Kiwanis” on Facebook.
