In order to support our community service and financial assistance programs, our club engages in a number of fundraising activities.

PANCAKE DAY  -- Our club's annual Pancake Breakfast is our club's primary fund raising activity.  It is held at the Port of Burlington on the Saturday before Memorial Day, and can be best described as "a happening" in Burlington.  We receive very fine  community support, Last year we served more than 3400 breakfasts and raised more than $19,000 from this event.  Since Kiwanis members and civic-minded businesses underwrite almost all of the costs of the breakfast, we are able to contribute almost all of the gross proceeds of the event to our charitable purposes.                                                                                                                                                                                                     \ (Click picture for more)
