Sunday, 7 April from 9 am to 12 noon was our biggest event of the year - The 24th Annual Pancake Breakfast. As in earlier years, St. John's Riverside Hospital hosted our event. While it is called the Pancake Breakfast, it is much more than that. For the nominal $10 admission there was not only a full all-you-can-eat breakfast, but also a large number of prizes, from Large-Screen LED TV, restaurant food vouchers, baskets of cheer, and many more.
There was a 50/50 raffle and door prizes.
We are grateful to many local businesses and individuals who have donated prizes or money towards the event. Our biggest sponsor is the St. John's Riverside Hospital which hosted the Breakfast. The funds raised at this event will go towards scholarships for deserving Yonkers High School students going on to college, providing grants to community organizations for projects like traveling farm visits, Summer Day Camp for underprivileged children, Fitness through walking, Community Gardens program, Planting gardens with youths with emotional/physical disabilities and incarcerated youths/adults, Kinship Summer Youth Program (for children who are being raised by grandparents), and Art therapy after-school program for children.
All donors were recognized at the event and year-round on our website.
