The Arcadia Coldwell Banker Regional Office located at 15 E Foothill Blvd., Arcadia will be holding their Annual Pancake Breakfast for 2009 on Saturday October 17th. As October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the proceeds from the breakfast will benefit the YWCA “WINGS” (Women in Need Growing Strong), a domestic violence prevention program which services those in need throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
The proceeds from this event will help WINGS in operating a residential shelter, a-24 hr helpline and a community outreach and education center for women and children who are fleeing violent homes. Last year, the Coldwell Banker Arcadia Regional Office helped raise more than $6,000 which through their community foundation helped to support local charities.
The two and a half hour event will feature volunteers from the Arcadia Police Department who will offer free fingerprinting for children in the event a child is lost. Featured events are a bake walk, games, music, balloon twisting, face painting, a pumpkin patch, raffles, Henna tattoos, Arcadia Explorers, Arcadia fire truck, Smokey Bear and a silent auction. Costumes are welcome. The tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. Call (626) 445-5500 for more information.
