WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE AWARD?

WHO WAS HENRY C. HEINZ?

The Henry C. Heinz Award was created in 2002to honor those individuals who have exhibitedoutstanding dedication and commitment to helping children.

A donation of $1,000 from an individual, KiwanisClub, Division, or any other group of Kiwaniansis made to the GDKF, and the interest is used to help young people of Georgia in the form of scholarships and other financial support. The recipient is honored with the Henry C. Heinz Award medallion, a lapel pin, and a certificate acknowledging the achievement.

Any person who demonstrates the spirit of Kiwanisas exemplified by Henry C. Heinz by exhibiting outstanding dedication and commitment to helping children may be honored by this award. This award can also be given in Memory of said person and given to the recipient’s family.

The donation may come from an individual, a Kiwanis Cub, a Division, or any other group of Kiwanians.

Henry C. Heinz was born in Connecticut and movedto Atlanta with his family when he was a young boy. He was educated in Atlanta, attended AtlantaBoys High School (now Grady High School), and Emory University. Henry married Lucy Candler, the only daughter of Asa Griggs Candler - founder of Coca-Cola.

Heinz was a very successful banker as Director andVice President of Citizens & Southern Bank in Atlanta.He was one of the driving forces behind ScottishRite Hospital (now Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta), was founder of the Atlanta Boys’ Club, and served as president of the Atlanta Athletic Club.

Heinz was one of the first Kiwanians in Georgia, and was involved in Kiwanis International in the formative years of our organization. He served three years as Treasurer and Vice President before becoming President of Kiwanis International in 1927-28 (first International Officer from the GA District). Heinz was also part of the formation of the Kiwanis International Foundation, serving as the Foundation’s first president in 1941, a positionhe held until his murder in 1943. Heinz, however, never served as Governor of the Georgia District.

Appropriately, the first Key Club was formed during Heinz’s year as International President in Sacramento, California. Further strengthening Kiwanis’ support of youth work was the publicity given to this Key Club, thus laying the groundworkfor many additional clubs to open in the future.

He brought to Kiwanis both his leadership qualities and vibrant personality. He had a strong determination to always look out for the best interest of Kiwanis. Although intensely interested in all aspects of Kiwanis service, his personal goal was to help children with limited opportunities achieve their potential.
