It’s  Marion Tradition! The Marion Noon Kiwanis Pancake Day will be held Saturday, March 8 2025, 7am to 1pm at Tri-Rivers Career Center. The meal, along with offering all the pancakes you can eat, includes sausage, juice, milk and coffee. It also showcases local talent throughout the day. “It is definitely a gathering of friends and family,” said Manoj Sharma, club president. “We hold it each year to raise funds for area children’s groups and youth scholarships.”
When it comes to serving up a scrumptious breakfast, nothing seems to top our fascination with the pancake, said Sharma. “And if you’re familiar with the Marion Noon Kiwanis Annual Pancake Day, chances are you’ve had your share of pancakes—one of our organizations’ key ingredients for a successful fundraiser.”

Most importantly, the proceeds from the event benefit children through groups and activities such as: Marion Tall Grass Trail, Marion Palace Theatre, Explore-It-Torium Children’s Museum, Marion Public Library, Tri-Rivers Summer Camp, Marion Goodwill Industries, Junior Service Guild Clearinghouse, the Dog Park, the Pep Club, Altrusa-RX Marion, and numerous other groups. Plus, the Kiwanis Foundation provides scholarships.”
