One of Batavia Rotary Club’s major fundraisers occurs every Father’s Day at the Genesee County Airport in Batavia as it hosts a fabulous fly-in breakfast. Serving will be in one of the airport hangars.
Sunday, June 16: 7:30 to 11:00 AM
Genesee County Airport, 4701 East Saile Drive Batavia, New York 14020
The all-you-can eat breakfast includes eggs, pancakes, sausage, juice and omelets. The community enjoys the atmosphere and the quality of the breakfasts, said club President Susie Ott. Each year we serve more than 1,000 people.
The event is an important fundraiser for the club’s various community commitments. Major contributions include annually providing $1,500 scholarships to 12 local college students and $250,000 toward the new Community Health Center being constructed by the local YMCA and Rochester Regional Health System.
Many folks choose to fly in to the airport, but you can drive, too, Susie said. Airplanes are on display during the breakfast. For an additional fee, airplane rides are available as well.
Tickets are available at the door: $12 for adults, $8 for children 4-12, and under 4 are free.
