Whitewater Kiwanis Top Dog Fundraising Contest is a vote for the photo of your favorite dog. Dog owners donate $5 to enter a photo of their pet (showing the dog only-no humans) into the contest. After registration, contestants will encourage their friends and family to vote for their canine companion (votes are just $1 each). In this election, you can vote as many times as you like! At the end of the contest the Elite 8 Top Dogs will have the choice of any one of our fabulous prizes in the order of votes received.

This fun contest will support children in need and their families with scholarships, shelter, clothes, and book programs along with other activities and organizations in our Whitewater community. For additional information about our program and our impact in the community, you can find it on our website or Facebook page.

The Grand Prize entails Second Salem Brewing Co. crafting an exclusive springtime brew featuring a portrait of the victorious pup on its label. The fortunate winner's owner/guardian will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with our Brewmaster on the label's design and the beer's moniker, with the ultimate choices subject to the Brewmaster's approval.
