Thank you for attending Convention 2025 in Dunwoody/Atlanta, Georgia! It was a memorable time of fellowship with Civitans from near and far. This page is filled with information from convention that should be helpful to you and your clubs as you seek to grow Civitan and make an impact in your local communities!
Dear Civitans,
I hope everyone made it home safely from Atlanta with minimal travel delays—and that you’re feeling as energized and inspired as I am after such an incredible few days together!
The 2025 Civitan International Convention was truly a celebration of our shared mission and the power of community. From thought-provoking workshops to heartfelt fellowship, every moment reflected the passion and purpose that make Civitan so special. Thank you for bringing your energy, ideas, and dedication—we couldn’t have done it without you.
I am excited to share some amazing highlights:
- The Breakthru Golf Tournament raised over $125,000 in support of our mission—an outstanding achievement!
- The Walk & Roll for Research is approaching its $50,000 goal, and there’s still time to help us cross the finish line—donations will be accepted through September 30.
- The Inmates for Impact initiative raised more than $15,000 for the Civitan Impact Program.
To everyone who participated, donated, or volunteered—thank you. These milestones are a direct reflection of your commitment and generosity.
Now, let’s keep this momentum going! I want to encourage every Civitan to take one small step with big potential: invite just one new member to join our Civitan family. Together, we can expand our reach, strengthen our clubs, and continue changing lives—one community at a time.
Thank you once again for making the 2025 Convention truly unforgettable. Here’s to the road ahead—full of purpose, progress, and unity.
