Proceeds from the 4-H Pancake Supper will directly benefit the Cass County 4-H Program. This money will go toward defraying the Program Development Fee, scholarships to send Cass County 4-H'ers to camps and conferences, start up dollars for new programs such as Clover Kids, as well as 4-H program materials and awards.
In addition, Thrivant Financial for Lutherans gave a matching contribution to the Pancake Supper Fundraiser.
