Join us for a weeklong Centennial Celebration, March 17-21, 2025, filled with Key Club history, leadership, culture, kindness and future aspirations. Each day, we’ll honor our rich legacy and look forward to amazing possibilities.
Let’s celebrate our journey and the bright future of Key Club! Here are the themes for each day of Centennial Celebration Week:
- Monday: Show Your Key Club Pride Day. Show off your Key Club pride by wearing your Centennial and Key Club gear — and by sharing why you’re proud to be a Key Club member.
- Tuesday: Key Club Around the World Day. Celebrate the international culture of Key Club leadership. Clubs and districts can share their members’ unique cultures by hosting a Key Club event where members wear their culture’s attire.
- Wednesday: 100 Acts of Kindness Day. We challenge you to honor 100 years of service by completing 100 acts of kindness! Ideas include placing 100 notes around school with encouraging messages; donating US$100 to the Key Club Birthday campaign; reading and playing games with younger students for 100 minutes; or donating 100 pounds of food to a local food bank.
