Aurora Noon Lions Club will hold a pork-chop dinner fundraiser from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22. at Luigi’s Pizza and Fun Center, 732 Prairie Street in Aurora. The public is invited. Patrons may pick up dinners in a drive-thru or eat in the center.
Proceeds will benefit Aurora-based Cities in Schools, a nonprofit that helps students succeed in school and life. Formerly called Communities in Schools, CIS provides school supplies, warm winter coats, school-day counseling services and after-school homework help, snacks and enrichment activities at 28 area schools. In August, CIS distributed 2,500 back-to-school kits containing school supplies and fruit at a drive-thru in Phillips Park.
The dinner menu features two pork chops with baked beans, coleslaw, applesauce, roll and butter and a cookie. A chicken dinner with sides will also be offered.
Tickets are $14. Tickets will be available at the door and from Lions members.
