Alpine Kiwanis Club, unfortunately, had to make the difficult decision to cancel Brat Day 2020, their signature fundraiser for 48 years. The Funds raised during their Brat Days event support a broad spectrum of non-profits in our community as well as grant scholarships to college-bound students. Without Brat Days this year, their club will be unable to give back to the local community at a time financial support is crucial.

In place of this year’s Brat Days for the month of July, Alpine Kiwanis is hosting a Facebook and web fundraiser to raise money to give to local charities.

You can donate by going to their Facebook page – Alpine Kiwanis Brat Days – or to their website at www.alpinekiwanis-il.org.

On Friday, July 17 from 5-9 pm (the day we would have had Brat Days 2020) on their Facebook page – Alpine Kiwanis Brat Days – will feature some of the local bands that would normally be performing at Brat Days.  On this Facebook page, there will be a link to make a donation to Alpine Kiwanis Charities Fund.

All donations to Alpine Kiwanis Charities are greatly appreciated and will allow their club to continue supporting local non-profit agencies serving children, the elderly, and the disabled as well for youth scholarship for local seniors.
