WABASH, 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 23, at the Bruce Ingraham Exhibit Hall 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 breakfast 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 are available at the door, as well as beforehand through Wabash Kiwanis members. Tickets are priced at $10 for guests 13 years and older, $5 for children ages 6-12 years. Admission for the event will be free for children 5 years and younger.
“This is likely the biggest event of the year for us most years,” Club Board Vice President Brittany Hanna, who will oversee the event this year, said. “So much of how we give back to the community comes from this event. A lot of people in the community rely on our support to enrich their lives.
“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.”
Sponsorship opportunities for Pancake Day are available by contacting Hanna at bdhanna14@gmail.com. Sponsors would receive 10 complimentary tickets to the event and on-site recognition in exchange for their support for only $175.
