Boonville Elks’ Wes Posey Spaghetti Dinner & Cancer Auction
All-you-can-eat spaghetti and amazing auction items all for a great cause in Boonville, Indiana this August.
The Boonville Elks #1180 does a lot of great things for the community. One of those things includes their annual spaghetti dinner. As someone who lives in Boonville, knowing that there is an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner coming up, I am going to have a hard time passing it up. More importantly, it's an opportunity to help raise money for cancer research and folks battling cancer in our community.
Annual Wes Posey Spaghetti Dinner and Cancer Benefit Auction
The Wes Posey Spaghetti Dinner and Cancer Benefit Auction will be on August 10th at 4 p.m. at the Boonville Elks Lodge #1180. Here's a little background on the event:
The Indiana Elks Association, which our lodge is a member of, has taken cancer research on as their major statewide project. Since the inception of this project, the Indiana Elks Association in conjunction with 55 Indiana Elks Lodges, has donated in excess of $10 MILLION to Indiana University and Purdue University for their cancer research facilities. Since 2017 our lodge and its members have given over $12k to support this major project. Additionally, the Boonville Lodge has given over $43k in grants to local families dealing with the hardships of cancer. We lost a warrior in our member, Wes Posey, and one of his passions was raising funds through the Cancer Auction. We miss him but know his spirit is still with us, along with the desire to raise more money for research.
The spaghetti dinner and auction is open to the public and for all ages. Here's the cool thing, this is an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner for only $10 a person. That's a heck of a deal! Auction items up for grabs include event tickets, gift cards, hotel stays, golf outings, and more. There will also be a 50/50 half pot at the dinner, and karaoke following the auction.
