The Kiwanis Club of Alexandria held its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025, at First United Methodist Church, supporting local high school service clubs and scholarship programs across the community.

Students from Holy Savior Menard, Peabody Magnet High School, Alexandria Senior High and Louisiana State University of Alexandria participated by selling tickets and assisting with event operations.

According to the organization’s event summary, 75% of proceeds from ticket sales are directed back to each school’s Key Club for community service projects. The remaining 25% supports Kiwanis-funded scholarships for graduating seniors pursuing higher education.

Event organizers reported serving several hundred pancakes during the breakfast, which continues to be one of the club’s most successful annual efforts. Planning is already underway for the group’s next major fundraiser, the spring crawfish boil scheduled for April.

The Kiwanis Club of Alexandria is part of a global volunteer organization focused on improving communities through service and youth development. The local chapter partners with area schools to provide leadership opportunities, scholarship funding and hands-on experience in community engagement.
