The Woodring Wall of Honor & Veterans Park is more than a memorial—it's a place where history comes to life. Dedicated to honoring Oklahoma's veterans, preserving their stories, and educating future generations, the Wall of Honor ensures the sacrifices of our nation's heroes are never forgotten.

As one of our 2026 Junior Welfare League Charity Gala beneficiaries, funds will support the expansion of interactive educational exhibits, including a new Purple Heart Gallery that will honor Purple Heart recipients while exploring the history of one of our nation's oldest military decorations. The project will also enhance Constitution education, develop hands-on learning experiences for students, and create new spaces where visitors of all ages can connect with the stories of those who served.

By preserving the past and inspiring the next generation, the Woodring Wall of Honor & Veterans Park continues to honor the legacy of those who defended our freedoms.

💙 Beneficiary Spotlight: Safe Families for Children - Oklahoma

Every family needs support sometimes. Safe Families of Oklahoma is dedicated to keeping children safe while strengthening families during times of crisis—helping parents overcome challenges before they become emergencies.

Through a network of trained and vetted volunteers, Safe Families provides temporary hosting for children, family coaching, mentoring, resource support, and compassionate relationships that help prevent child abuse, neglect, and unnecessary foster care placements.

Their mission is rooted in the belief that communities grow stronger when families are supported with care, connection, and hope.

As one of our 2026 Junior Welfare League Charity Gala beneficiaries, funds will help recruit and train new volunteers, provide trauma-informed education, expand community outreach, and establish a Safe Families Lending Closet stocked with essential childcare items for host families caring for children in crisis.

Together, these efforts will strengthen local families, reduce barriers to care, and ensure more children throughout Enid and Garfield County have a safe, supportive place to turn when they need it most.

We are honored to support an organization that is building stronger families and a stronger community—one act of compassion at a time. ❄️

For generations, the Kiwanis Club of Enid has been dedicated to serving children and strengthening our community through hands-on service and lasting impact.

One of their most cherished contributions is the beloved rides at Meadowlake Park—a place where families gather, memories are made, and childhood traditions continue year after year.

As one of our 2026 Junior Welfare League Charity Gala beneficiaries, funds will help maintain and preserve the Meadowlake Park rides, ensuring they remain safe, reliable, and ready to bring joy to thousands of children and families for years to come.

Because of organizations like Kiwanis, simple moments—a train ride, a carousel spin, or an afternoon at the park—become lifelong memories.
