At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Educational Foundation of Orinda, Jason Evans, president of the Moraga Valley Kiwanis Club, presented a $5,000 check from the MVKC to the EFO in recognition of the EFO's continuing, essential assistance to the Orinda Union School District and the Acalanes Union High School District in support of the children of Orinda.

In making the presentation, Evans stated: "The primary purpose of Kiwanis Clubs around the world - and locally here in the Lamorinda community - is to support children. This gift furthers that objective. Our club's members come largely from Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda. Our fundraising activities occur here in Lamorinda. It is the residents of our local communities who support our largest fundraising activities - our See's Candy Holiday Shop in the Rheem Shopping Center and our Annual Crab Feed at Saint Mary's College. This gift helps to fulfill our club's mission by recognizing the EFO's contribution to Orinda's children and by also recognizing the support the Orinda community provides to the MVKC's fundraising efforts."

The MVKC has also previously made similar $5,000 gifts to both the Moraga Education Foundation and to the Lafayette Partners in Education in recognition of the roles those two institutions play in supporting children in Moraga and Lafayette and the support that the residents of Moraga and Lafayette provide to the MVKC's fundraising activities.
