The Kiwanis Club of Cicero will host two back-to-back fundraisers taking place on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 22 and 23 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. 22 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 $3,200 thanks to the generosity of motorists who stopped to share spare change or a few bucks as they passed by. All money collected at the roadblocks are directed to Riley Hospital.
On Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 22 and 23 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. The breakfast will be served at the Atlanta Community Center at Dolles Park, 105 Walton St.
Breakfast will be served from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, and from 7 to 11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23. 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.
