Volunteers Needed!
The 2025 TaylorMade/Pebble Beach Invitational Golf Tournament will be here soon! This is the 54th year of this tournament, and the Monterey Kiwanis have been a part of it since the beginning! Every year we recruit and manage more than 300 volunteers tournament volunteers!
This tournament is by far our largest fundraising opportunity of the year! Our volunteers serve as course marshals, score keepers, van drivers, and more. Simply put, their work makes the tournament run smoothly. In exchange for the critical role the Club and our volunteers play, the Pebble Beach Foundation makes a substantial contribution to the Kiwanis Club of Monterey Foundation.
Without the funds this golf tournament provides, we wouldn’t be able to support youth groups on the Peninsula, award generous college scholarships, or fund most of the good work we do. Click on the button below for more details about how you can help!

Monterey Kiwanis Scholarship News
Frida Castaneda Arango graduated from Monterey High School this June and will be attending U.C. Davis where she will study animal science, with the goal of becoming a veterinarian.
As a Monterey High student, Frida took many dual-credit classes through MPC in order to minimize her future expenses as a full-time college student. Through her church, she has served as a volunteer tutor to elementary kids from Spanish-speaking households. Frida exemplifies the commitment to community service and academic success that the Monterey Kiwanis Scholarship is designed to support!
