Last year over 2,500 local residents enjoyed
hot pancakes along with beverages and breakfast sides. Rotarians gladly
prepared and served over 8,000 pancakes to raise funds for the organization’s baseball uniforms, equipment, and field preparation and game management. Wellesley Little League serves over 1100 youth.
“Wellesley Rotary is proud to continue this longstanding tradition supporting our town’s youth,” said Vin Spoto, Secretary of the Wellesley Rotary and co-founder of Pinnacle Residential Properties in Wellesley, an event sponsor. “This event is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our Rotarians’ talents and networks in service to others. Community programs that Rotary was able to fund from last year’s festival include: tutoring disadvantaged children at the Fiske School, establishing an adolescence wellness program for high school and middle school students, planting of over 400 saplings helping to keep Wellesley green, and sending high school students to leadership programs.”
