The Quad County Urban League will host its annual Black History Month Pancake Breakfast on Saturday in Aurora to raise scholarship funds for college-bound Black high school students in Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will counties, event organizers said.
The event, which is open to the public, is set for 9 to 11 a.m. at Prisco Community Center, 150 W. Illinois Ave. in Aurora. It will celebrate Black History Month, while raising scholarship dollars, according to a press release about the breakfast.
The pancake breakfast will include programming that highlights student achievement and cultural pride, and will feature student presentations on contemporary issues in the Black community and Black history trivia games, the release stated.
“This pancake breakfast is more than a meal,” said Theodia Gillespie, president and CEO of the Quad County Urban League in the release. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate Black history, uplift our students and invest in their future.”
Tickets, which will be available for purchase at the door, are $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 years old and younger, the release said.
