Join us for the largest pancake breakfast in the Roanoke Valley and help support our community! 

This year we want you to “Batter Up” to enjoy an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast while raising funds for local non-profits and youth programs. With tickets priced at just $8 per person, and children 5 and under eating for free, it’s a delicious way to make a difference. The event promises live entertainment, featuring a special appearance by the Salem Ridge Yaks and Mac the Yak, ensuring fun for the whole family. Don’t miss out on this wonderful community event! 

Over its long history, Kiwanis Pancake Day has raised more than one million dollars with funds going directly back to the community, through grants presented to deserving area non-profits.  

The Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast is the only fundraiser for Kiwanis Club of Roanoke and funds support community service projects, scholarships for local students, and grants to organizations who align with the Kiwanis Club’s mission of serving children, older adults, and the environment. Just take a look at the back of each ticket to see an impressive list of local non-profits being supported each year by this fundraising breakfast.  

One thing that hasn’t changed over the years is the all-hands-on-deck frame of mind! This impressive event is made possible by the sweat and dedication of many volunteers, including Kiwanis club members, area Key Club students, and AKtion Club members – an active group of adults with brain injuries. 

Advance tickets to the Kiwanis Pancake & Auction Day fundraiser can be purchased from Kiwanians or online through the club website, roanokekiwanisclub.org. There is a two-dollar discount off $10 at the door price by purchasing in advance.
