Kiwanis in 107th year: Pancake Day March 18

Share this article:

The Aurora and Fox Valley community are invited to the all-you-can-eat “Annual Kiwanis Pancake Day Breakfast” from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 18 at Aurora Central Catholic High School, 1255 N. Edgelawn Drive, at the corner Edgelawn and Indian Trail, Aurora.

The Kiwanis Club of Aurora in its 107th year celebration presents this annual breakfast event to fund their work with children and the community.

For two years, the breakfast date was canceled because of COVID-19. Last year a drive-thru format was used.

Tickets may be purchased from Aurora Kiwanis members for $10 or online at aurorakiwanis.org. Children under five years old eat for free.

Kiwanis Club of Aurora President Brian Tonner notes “I’m so happy for the continued community support of this outstanding event since 1951.”

Annually, the Aurora, Illinois Kiwanis Foundation donates some $30,000, primarily to Aurora’s youth. These donations occur through awarding of Kiwanis scholarships (managed by the Community Foundation of the Fox Valley); subsidies to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and baseball teams; help to area youth programs; and the sponsorship of clubs for youth at the elementary, high school and college levels.
