The Batavia Mothers’ Club Foundation (BMCF) hosted its 31st Annual Craft and Vendor Show at Batavia High School on October 15, 2016. The Craft & Vendor Show featured handcrafted items from a variety of area artisans as well as selected vendors. The show also included the ever-popular bake sale, a charity raffle, a 50/50 Draw Down Raffle which had a grand prize of $2000, along with concessions and lunch services provided by Jimmy Johns. Proceeds from this event and all of BMCF’s fundraisers support local charities and educational opportunities in accordance with our mission. For more information on the organizations BMCF supported this past year, please see our Summer Newsletter 2016
This year’s event was almost at max capacity. Attendees enjoyed traveling back to the 80s listening to tunes from Bon Jovi and Cyndi Lauper to El Debarge and Stevie Wonder as well as noshing on refreshments from Enticing Cuisine or snacks like candy cigarettes. Raffles and mini games accompanied the main event, Bunco, as well. Both volunteers and attendees alike donned neon, leg warmers, acid-washed jeans or Flashdance-inspired gear and were met with many laughs. We had a wonderful time this year and we hope that all of our participants did as well!
Stay tuned for the Bunco 2018 (January or February) date! Please feel free to contact us with any questions about this event at 630-282-3153 or email us at bunco@bataviamothersclub.org
Our 2nd Annual Bunco Charity Fundraiser was held on January 30, 2016, at the Batavia Moose Lodge (1535 S. Batavia Ave., Batavia, IL 60510). We had a wonderful turnout with this event selling out! Lots of fun was had by all with raffle prizes, silent auction, heads or tails game, door prizes, snacks, and a cash bar. We are grateful to our sponsors and to all of our participants for making this event such a wonderful success!
All money raised from this event and other events through the Batavia Mothers’ Club Foundation go directly back to the community through the schools or local organizations that focus on helping children and families.
We hope you will join us again next year for this fun event. Stay tuned for next year’s date!
The First Annual Bunco Charity Fundraiser was a huge success! Over 70 participants rolled the dice on February 7th, 2015, looking to win a variety of prizes including jewelry, wine, and gift certificates. They also enjoyed participating in a “heads or tails” fundraiser and a silent auction which included tickets to Blackhawks and Bulls games, golf outings, high-end Craftsman tools items, and spa/hotel stays. Participants also sampled fabulous food from Aliano’s Ristorante in Batavia and delicious desserts provided by The Party Kitchen in Geneva.
Funds raised through this event will support local charities in the Fox Valley area, as well as Batavia schools.
