The Kiwanis Club of Homewood and Mountain Brook will host their annual Pancake Day to benefit the Exceptional Foundation on Saturday, March 19.
The event, which has been taking place for over 30 years, will begin at 7 a.m.
Club president Tom Callison said that the group’s largest fundraiser of the year is open to the public, and all are invited to enjoy breakfast. There will also be activities for children such as face painting.
Callison said there will also be a silent auction to support the club’s mission to “serve the world one child at a time.”
Tickets are $5 at the door or can be purchased in advance from a Kiwanis Club member. With the ticket, guests can enjoy sausage, coffee and, of course, pancakes.
“We’re an international organization, but our focus is on the local community,” Callison said. He added that this year, the group hopes to increase attendance to 1,000 participants — up from the usual number of 600 to 700.
He said the Exceptional Foundation is one of the club’s Aktion Clubs — a group the Kiwanis Club partners with to support and engage.
“We’ll use this for support and service projects around the city,” he said.
