In the fall of 2024 our club took over two tailgate spaces for the home football games of The University of Texas at Austin Longhorns.
This started out as a tailgate of friends and Longhorn fans, mostly members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies, that had been in continuous operation since the early 1990s. This tailgate and the group of people who have participated in or helped sustain it was a little piece of Austin and UT history that would have been a shame to lose when the previous organizer retired and moved away, so our club members saw an opportunity to preserve a tradition and enhance the visibility of our club in the community.
Club members, friends, and guests enjoy a few hours was grilling before the game, some people leave to watch the game at the stadium, and others hang out to watch the game on TV. Each week we designate a fundraising beneficiary and have supported Out Youth, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas, the CKI Club of The University of Texas at Austin, and our sponsored Key Clubs.

We’re an organization of volunteers serving the community and children of greater Austin, Texas.
Started out our Saturday Morning with Service!
This morning, 7 members across Key Club, CKI, and Silicon Hills Kiwanis came together for our Restock the School event. In just about an hour, we packed 20 backpacks 🎒with supplies for an elementary school in need and a few extras left! ✏️📚
It’s amazing what can happen when the Kiwanis family works together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, pitched in, and helped make sure local students have the supplies they need to succeed! 🌟
🌳 Service in action at Rosewood Park with the Austin Parks Foundation!
Three members of the Kiwanis Club of Silicon Hills; plus one little helper joined forces with the Austin Parks Foundation and fellow volunteers to give the trees at Rosewood Park some much-needed TLC.
In just two hours, we helped mulch around 25 trees! 🌳💪
A little teamwork, a lot of mulch, and one morning well spent caring for a park our Austin community can enjoy this summer!
We love opportunities to roll up our sleeves, serve together, and make a difference right here in our community. 💙
Join us at our next event Sept 19th where we will be organizing school supplies for drop off to a school in need! Link in the bio!
We have an exciting lineup of service projects, community partnerships, and fellowship opportunities coming up!
From supporting local nonprofits through service, to our monthly meetings at Galaxy Cafe, there’s a place for everyone to get involved and make an impact.
