The Missions of civitan
"100 Salutes" is one of our primary missions. As Law Enforcement Officers fall in the line of duty, the Peace Keepers pass out Officer specific remembrance ribbons to family, friends and co-workers at the Officer's visitation, funeral and at remembrance events. We assist the Officer's families in any way we can. Our honors continue.
As citizens of the United States, we consider it our duty to support the Military Veterans in our local communities. In our case, the Greater Kansas City area. We do so by honoring the fallen of the Military. Our focus during 2017 and 2018 has been in support of "Wreaths Across America". At the end of the 2018 campaign, we shall investigate other Veteran missions.
The worldwide mission of Civitan International is to build good citizenship by providing a volunteer organization of clubs dedicated to serving individual and community needs, with an emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities.
Support the peace Keepers and our partners
