HAVE BREAKFAST WITH US
We would love to have you join us for PANCAKES FOR A PURPOSE, a fun filled pancake breakfast supporting our Operation School Bell® program. This program provides new school clothing and other important necessities, at no cost, to over 1,200 students from low-income families in our community ranging from toddlers thru 12th grade.
Meet our dedicated members and co-sponsors, get excited about the Corvettes and other items on display and, most of all, help the many children and families in our community that struggle day to day.
The cost is $10/person payable at the door (cash, check or charge). Tickets can also be purchased in advance on our website by clicking HERE. If you are unable to attend and would like to make a donation you can do that HERE.
Thank you for your generous support.
