Lorraine's Little Angels host a Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser
There are unlimited ways for teams to raise money for charity walks. This morning I attended a charity event that was hosted by a charity walk team made up of young people. The event was a pancake breakfast.
Applebee’s in Fredericksburg, Virginia opened their doors on a Saturday morning and made plates of pancakes and sausage for the hungry people showing up to show their support. The team, Lorraine’s Little Angels, served the food with a smile.
People showed up who had some involvement with the Arthritis Walks. Some people showed up because they wanted to support a great cause. Others even showed up from the hotel across the street because they were hungry. Regardless of the reason, everyone had a great time and contributed to an important cause.
What are some ways you have used to raise money for charity walks? Let me know by leaving a comment.
