Mission Statement

Working through either a licensed orthodontist or the University of Washington Department of Orthodontics, the Keller Memorial Fund will endeavor to help ensure that that children who otherwise might not be able to afford needed orthodontic treatment will have access to quality orthodontic care.

Background

Dr. Jack Keller was a respected orthodontist in the Kirkland area who died in a tragic hunting accident. Since Dr. Keller was a long-time member of Kiwanis, his family, friends, and associates worked with the Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation to form the Jack Keller Memorial Fund, which was established in 1986. Money contributed to the Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation in Dr. Keller’s name is used exclusively to help those in need gain access to quality orthodontic care, which otherwise might not be affordable.
