Benefiting Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Lighthouse Youth Services & the Loveland Initiative
Loveland, Ohio – With the motto “People helping People”, the Loveland Fraternal Order of Eagles #3006, 127 N. Karl Brown Way, is bringing holiday cheer to area youth a few months early with their 3rd annual “Christmas In July” fundraiser on Saturday, July 16, from 8 AM until 11:00 PM.
“Come and see how we deck the halls at this unique celebration,” said Margie Hominy.
Guests are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Financial proceeds raised through sponsorships, games, silent auctions, raffles, etc., will benefit all three charities. Last year, this event raised over $17,000, as well as collected over 150 toys.
The day begins with breakfast being served at 8:00 am. The Eagle Riders will then host a Poker/Toy Run, with kickstands up at 10 AM. The riders will visit and collect toys and donations at 5 local non-profit clubs and return to the Loveland FOE around 5 PM.
Then, beginning at noon, this event welcomes the entire community, and features live musical entertainment, silent auctions, raffles, children’s games, and the Santa Band performs at 3:30 PM and welcomes Santa promptly at 4PM.
The Loveland Fraternal Order of Eagles 3006 has maintained a presence in the community since 1949 and currently hosts more than 700 Aerie, Auxiliary and Eagle Rider members. In the past, members have raised and donated several thousand dollars to Granny’s Garden, God, Flag and Country competitions, Loveland, Goshen and Cincinnati Schools, One Way Farms, St. Jude’s, Buckeye Search & Rescue, Stan McCoy Scholarship Fund, Children’s Meeting House, One Sight, Ohio Valley Voices and many more organizations.
