ABOUT CIVITAN
Our vision is to be a global community where people of all abilities and talents make the world a better place.
Civitan Changes Lives
Civitan is the only service organization dedicated to serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and through the Civitan International Research Center, we are helping find cures and develop treatments for autism, Rett syndrome, Down syndrome and many more brain-related disorders.
Civitans are Champions of Service
Civitan offers people of all ages the opportunity to selflessly serve their communities and make the world a better place. Whether building wheelchair ramps, developing inclusive playgrounds or fundraising for the Civitan International Research Center, we are a hands-on organization ready to roll up our sleeves to positively impact individuals in our communities.
Civitan Spans The Globe
Since the beginning, Civitans have united under a universal mission rooted in service. Spanning more than 20 nations in North America, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Pacific Islands, Civitan is truly a global organization dedicated to serving others.
SPOTLIGHTS
Civitan is making a difference in our local community through service projects. We meet monthly and have a variety of options for members to choose from that are making a difference in the lives of those around us.
Supporting Those with Disabilities
Triangle Luncheon Civitan (TLC) Club members actively support those with developmental and other disabilities. In May, we hosted over 700 Durham athletes, their teachers and coaches at a Spring Dance providing pizza, crafts, bingo and group photos. We also host parties for ladies at a group home and serve snacks during concerts for the special needs community.
Fulfilling Community Needs
We support the community with hands-on projects as well as monetarily. This year, we presented scholarships to three deserving college-bound high school graduates. Our hands-on projects include collecting food for the Durham VA Hospital Food Pantry, providing items from the Ronald McDonald House wish lists and filling Christmas stockings for children at the Boys and Girls Homes.
Working Together
TLC members have fun raising funds through our Quarter Auction, selling Claxton fruitcakes and RADA cutlery (see Resources), and working Duke game concessions. Monies earned are donated to non-profits including Civitan International Research Center, Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald House, Boys and Girls Homes of NC, Durham County Community Living Program and Project Lifesaver (Durham County Sheriff’s Department).
Enjoying Engaging meetings
Club members enjoy luncheon meetings twice monthly. Highlights include informative speakers from the community and from Civitan leadership, and fellowship with an annual picnic, holiday activities, etc. Two/three Discovery meetings are held annually to welcome new members.
CLUB INFO
