The Portage Lakes Kiwanis Club is proud to announce the upcoming Rose Remembrance Day on Saturday, October 4, 2025, a 74-year-old cherished annual event that exemplifies how our community comes together to support local needs. This year’s Rose Day not only celebrates the beauty of roses but also highlights the profound impact of collective community support.
Rose Remembrance Day, which features the sale of stunning red roses, plays a crucial role in funding the Kiwanis Club’s programs and initiatives. The event is a testament to the power of community involvement, with all proceeds directly benefiting local children’s programs, educational scholarships, and various community service projects.
“The support we receive from the community during Rose Remembrance Day is instrumental in enabling us to carry out our mission, every rose purchased represents a commitment to enhancing the lives of our local children and families. It’s a beautiful example of how our community comes together to make a difference.”
How the Community Supports Itself Through Rose Day:

Funding Local Programs: The funds raised from Rose Remembrance Day are used to support vital programs such as scholarships for students, youth activities, and community service initiatives. These programs provide valuable opportunities and resources for local children and families.
Promoting Community Engagement: Rose Remembrance Day brings together residents, businesses, and organizations in a collective effort to support a common cause. This collaboration fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose within the Portage Lakes area.
Encouraging Volunteerism: The event relies on the generous contributions of volunteers who assist with organizing and running Rose Day. This volunteer spirit exemplifies the community’s dedication to helping others and giving back.
