2010 Pancake BreakfastThank you to everyone who participated in this year's Pancake Breakfast on Sunday June 6, 2010.

Over 1,200 community members turned out to support ICARE's mission at the Chauncey Swan Parking Ramp in downtown Iowa City. It was a beautiful day and not a drop of rain in site. ICARE was pleased to see over 110 very dedicated volunteers rolling up their sleeves to make this the most successful breakfast yet!

We were honored to have Congressman Dave Loebsack, Senator Bob Dvorsky, Representative Dave Jacoby, Attorney Janet Lyness and the following Johnson County Board of Supervisors: Pat Harney, Rod Sullivan, Sally Stutsman and  Janelle Rettig, along with many more local dignitaries helping out the day of the event. 

Thank you to all of our volunteers, sponsors, ticket outlets, and entertainers who made the breakfast a success, and to those who showed their support by stopping by for a bite to eat!


The fundraiser brought in over $10,000 in support of ICARE's case management, prevention and education services. New to the event this year, ICARE hosted a raffle with many great prizes. Thanks to the area businesses who donated the prizes and to all who purchased raffle tickets! The winners are:
