The Cicero Kiwanis Club will host two back-to-back fundraisers this weekend to raise money for Riley Hospital and to support the club’s work in the community.
Rain or shine, club volunteers will be stationed at local intersections on Saturday, Sept. 28 for its annual Roadblock for Riley. Indiana Kiwanis has supported Riley Hospital for a century, raising money and awareness four years before the hospital was built.
Last year, the club raised over $3,000 for Riley Hospital thanks to the generosity of motorists who stopped to share spare change or a few bucks as they passed by. The club donated a total of $3,500 to Riley Hospital as part its annual September Roadblock for Riley fundraiser.
On Saturday and Sunday, take a break from the kitchen and get a jumpstart on your day at the 45th annual Atlanta New Earth Festival with a hearty, homecooked breakfast prepared by the members of the Cicero Kiwanis Club. Last year the club served over 280 people and raised more than $1,400.
The breakfast will be served at the Atlanta Community Center at Dolles Park (105 Walton St.). On Saturday, Sept. 28, breakfast will be served from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. and from 7 to 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29. Breakfast offerings will consist of biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, juice, milk, water and coffee. Cost for the Big Breakfast is $7 for adults and $5 for children. Small breakfast is $5 for adults and $3 for children.
Proceeds from the breakfast help provide funding for scholarships to graduating high school students, support activities and projects of local Boy and Girl Scouts, student organizations at Hamilton Heights, and other worthwhile projects that impact the youth in northern Hamilton County and beyond.
