Sandy Nininger Award 2026

2026 Sandy Nininger Award

This form is to be used to nominate a Key Club member for the Sandy Nininger Award. Completed form must be submitted by January 31, 2026.
Now more than ever, it’s important to recognize the young leaders in the Kiwanis family. And there’s no better example of youthful leadership in extraordinary circumstances than Alexander R. “Sandy” Nininger.

In 1946, the Sandy Nininger medal was created for Key Club members who distinguish themselves by making the most of their opportunities. Like Sandy, these members inspire us all to care deeply, engage enthusiastically, and make the most of our lives.

Does this sound like a Key Club member you know? Honor that person with the Sandy Nininger Award! Honorees will receive a medal and certificate — and they will know that fellow Kiwanis family members continue to appreciate their service and dedication in these unusual and difficult times.
