Breakfast and raffle ticket sales raised nearly $1900, with total sponsorship and donations for the event reaching nearly $3000.
Participants also donated nearly 105 pounds of food and personal hygiene items, which members of the Student Environmental Association will deliver to Help's on the Way, a community food pantry in Dearborn Heights.
A total of 46 volunteers, mostly UM-Dearborn students, helped serve the guests.
“The inaugural Pancakes for the Planet fundraiser was a huge success!” said David Susko. “The organizers thank all of the volunteers, donors, and participants who helped make this event possible.”
Pancakes for the Planet is a collaborative event sponsored by the Community Involvement and Volunteerism Center, the Student Environmental Association, and the Environmental Interpretive Center at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
