WABASH COUNTY, IN- The Wabash Kiwanis Club will soon host its annual Pancake Day, which is the local service organization’s largest annual fundraiser.
The event will take place from 7 a.m. – 1 p.m. Saturday, March 25, at the Bruce Ingraham building at the Wabash County Fairgrounds, located just off of Gillen Avenue in Wabash. Pancakes (with or without blueberries) will be available, along with sausages and drinks.
The event allows the Club to continue its many service projects in the area, including support of Key Clubs at Wabash and Northfield high schools, support of K-Kids clubs at O.J. Neighbours and Sharp Creek elementary schools, renovating local park playgrounds, continuing the Club’s fifth grade book program, supplying the Kate’s Kart book cart at Parkview Wabash Hospital and more.
Wabash Kiwanis also supports youth- and community-focused initiatives like Riley Hospital for Children, the Eagles Theatre renovation, FAME Festival, the Honeywell Summer Arts Camps (formerly VPA) and Arts in Education programs, the Wabash County Scholarship Pageant, Founder’s Day, Wabash Area Community Theater, the Wabash High School volleyball team’s Kills for a Cure fundraiser and more.
Tickets will be $10 for adults (13 years and older) and $5 for children (ages 6-12 years). Admission for the event will be free for children 5 years and younger. Tickets can be purchased in advance through a Kiwanis member or at the door of the event with cash, check, credit card, or Venmo.
“The success of this event is a huge driver into how much we can support kids and family here locally during the upcoming year,” Club Board Vice President Tenille Zartman, who will oversee the event this year, said. “A lot of people in the community rely on our support to enrich their lives. You’ve got to eat, so we hope to see you on March 25 at the Fairgrounds to support our organization and by extension of that, the community’s, Indiana’s and the world’s children.”
