Rancho Bernardo Kiwanians are selling tickets outside local grocery stores for their club’s 48th annual pancake breakfast.

The fundraiser will be held from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 3 at Rancho Bernardo High School, 13010 Paseo Lucido.

Tickets — $7 for adults and $3 for kids ages 4 to 8 — will be sold at the event and in advance from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday outside Vons in Rancho Bernardo and on Friday, Aug. 26 and Saturday, Aug. 27 outside Albertsons. Tickets can also be purchased online at RanchoBernardoKiwanis.org.

According to breakfast chairman John O’Rourke, proceeds will go toward many local organizations and programs. They include the Ronald McDonald House, Rady Children’s Hospital Trauma Education Program, Rancho Bernardo Senior Services, Wounded Marines, children’s literacy programs, college scholarships for local high school seniors, Paws’itive Teams, student leadership programs, Key Club, Boy Scouts and many local high school organizations and sports teams.

Plans for this year’s proceeds also include building a new tot lot playground at Rancho Bernardo Community Park and helping to build a new pediatric trauma unit at Rady Children’s Hospital, he said.

In addition to the breakfast — which will include buttermilk and blueberry pancakes, sausages, fruit, milk, juice and coffee — there will be live music, a 50/50 drawing and silent auction.

O’Rourke said the club has raised more than $880,000 since it formed in 1967.

The club is also still accepting silent auction and prize donations and recruiting breakfast sponsors. For a $250 business sponsorship, the rewards include 10 free pancake breakfast tickets, advertising on their table and placemats, plus other publicity during the event.
