The 67th annual Kiwanis Pancake Day, which kicks off the countdown to Christmas for many Ocala residents, will be held Saturday, Dec. 13, at the Eighth Street Elementary School Cafeteria, 513 SE Eighth St., Ocala, from 7 a.m. to noon.
The cost is $7 per person for all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage and beverages.
Proceeds go toward sending campers ages 7 to 13 to a one-week summer session at Camp Kiwanis in the Ocala National Forest, a cooperative program of the Ocala Kiwanis Club and Marion County Public Schools.
A Kiwanis Pancake Day official said that each camper sponsorship costs upwards of $400. The club’s camper sponsorship goal this year is 100-plus youth.
