The Kane County 4-H Foundation will be host to its 14th annual pork chop dinner and auction fundraiser from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 15 at the Prairie Events Center of the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles.
“This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and it helps support 4-H Youth Development programs in our communities, as well as other valuable University of Illinois Extension services,” said Bill Collins, treasurer of the Kane County 4-H Foundation and event co-chairperson. “Prior to 2020, the annual event raised about $20,000, and the goal this year is to match that.”
The event will feature a silent auction of popular items and themed baskets. Silent auction bidding will end at 7 p.m. and the live auction will begin.
Tickets are on sale, with the choice of a two-chop dinner for $15, a one-chop dinner for $13, or a pulled pork sandwich dinner for $10. The pork will be prepared by the Elburn Lions Club and served by 4-H Foundation, clubs, families, and other Extension volunteers and supporters.
Tickets may be purchased through your local 4-H club or 4-H Foundation volunteer, or by contacting the dinner co-chairs Bill Collins at 630-484-6852 or Karen Sunderlage at 815-766-2955. A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase at the door for an additional $1 per meal.
