The evening is sure to be phenomenal and as always, the amazing Chris Galloway of Pappo’s restaurant and Melissa Galloway of Mama Cita’s restaurant will be providing dinner.

This event raises funds for our annual grant round held at the beginning of each year and helps over 25 deserving Non-Profit organizations in Camden, Miller, & Morgan counties.

CFL President Stacy Pyrtle states “the CFL’s mission is to build the educational, cultural, health and economic development of the Lake community. The CFL board and long-standing donors are dedicated to continued growth in gifts coming in AND in grants going out. Last year alone the CFL granted out $90,000 to local nonprofits. We can be proud to live at the lake and now must engage and cultivate “next-gen” donors through collaborative philanthropy and learning about community needs.” To that end, this fundraiser will be lots of FUN to introduce the next generation to our philanthropic community.

Since its inception in 2009, Community Foundation’s annual fundraiser has led to more than $600,000 in grants to local charities such as Wonderland Camp, Children’s Learning Center, Lake Area Industries, CADV, Kids’ Harbor, Medical Missions for Christ, Share the Harvest Food Pantry, Buddy Packs, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Westlake Aquatic Center, Lake Arts Council Children’s Theater, and more.
