Breakfast Rotary holds charity gala Saturday
Raising money to help charities at home and abroad, the McMinnville Breakfast Rotary Club will hold its annual charity gala Saturday night.
“This is probably the most fun fundraiser we hold each year,” said club vice president Robert Newman. “This year we’re donating to a number of quality charitable organizations. We invite everyone to join us for a night of fun in supporting the community.”
Since its inception seven years ago, Breakfast Rotary’s charity gala has raised over $60,000 for various charities, with most of the money remaining here in Warren County. Last year the club raised and distributed $6,500 to seven local charities.
This year’s main beneficiaries will be Families in Crisis and Kids of the Community.
Headlining Saturday night’s event will be the South Jackson Street Band, which will provide jazz entertainment. Hors d’oeuvres will also be served.
The seventh annual McMinnville Breakfast Rotary Club charity gala will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday at McMinnville County Club. Tickets run $100 per couple and are available from any Breakfast Rotarian. For more information or to purchase tickets, call Newman at 473-8405.
