Little Swimmers Fund Community Cookout raising funds, awareness tonight in Morsches Park
(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) The Donovan Kessler Memorial Little Swimmers Fund volunteers have been busy getting the word out, above at a booth they set up at Wal-Mart last week, and getting ready for their annual Community Cookout fundraiser, which will be held this evening from 4-7 p.m. at the pavilion in Morsches Park.
It will be held rain or shine. For $6 for adults and $4 for children, participants will get hot dogs, chips, baked beans or applesauce, dessert and a drink as well as over 150 chances to win door prizes. A raffle will provide additional opportunities to win with top prizes being a six month membership at the YMCA (worth $354) and a Peg-Perego Piaggio Vespa GT worth almost $250. Local businesses have generously supported the event and donated many excellent prizes for the event.
Funds raised at this evening’s cookout will support the Donovan Kessler Memorial Little Swimmers Fund which provides swimming lessons for children under age 5.
