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.
Christmas at Liberty Place Assisted Living
The club supported shopping for 3 gifts for each of the 25 residents (many residents are veterans) for Christmas. We also provided them with a pizza lunch.
Easter Eggs for Special Needs Babies
We stuffed 375 plastic Easter Eggs with candy in support of Friends of TN Babies with Special Needs. They are hosting an Easter Egg hunt for I/DD pre schoolers and needed 3500 eggs so we did our part to support this fun event.
Challenger Baseball League
Club members look forward to being Challenger Baseball buddies every season. This gives parents a chance to sit in the stands and cheer on their player instead of being their buddy ON the field. We love this team!
Vidalia Onion Fundraiser
Each year our club sells 10 lb bags of Vidalia onions from the first crop of onions for Vidalia, Georgia. This our clubs only fundraiser and we have it down to a science now after many years of the loading and delivery process.
CLUB INFO
Civitan is more than just a club. It is a a family of members making an impact around the globe everyday through service.
