What’s In Outdoors

On Match Day, donors may contribute to one or more of the participating charitable organizations through one donation. In turn, a cash grant, figured on a pro-rated basis, will be added to each participating organization totals for the day.

The community donated $78,050.76 to twenty organizations during the 2015 event. After adding in the matching money and prize grants, the total amount awarded to the participating organizations was $121,950.75. During our first event in 2014, the cumulative benefit of Match Day to fifteen area organizations was $61,432.98.

2016 Scholarship Breakfast Fundraiser

Breakfast today was another success for Emporia Sertoma Club. Served up @ 500 meals to members of the community. Lots of opportunity for fellowship. There was a group of ESU school of  nursing students helping during the fundraiser, serving drinks, helping people to tables, drinks and the monster effort of doing the kitchen dishes, huge job. Thanks the the girls for all their hard work. Think they pre-sold some tickets also.

Thanks to the Emporia Sponsors for this years sponsorship’s.
