The Emmaus Lions Club opened its 15th year of the “A Night at the Races” fundraiser dedicating the evening to Lions David Aten, PCC PDG, Robert Mumbauer, Cynthia Rivetti-Ives and to all the Lions who have “gone before us.”
The event was held recently at Alburtis Community Center, 220 W. Second St.
All the races were filmed at accredited tracks and were shown on a large screen. Patrons enjoyed beverages and food by Moyer’s Catering and then placed their bets before the first race kicked off 6:30 p.m.
For each race, the crowd was heard cheering for their horse to win.
Approximately 150 supporters attended the event and approximately 20 Lions volunteers were on hand to serve food and beverages, sell raffles, 50/50 and pull tabs and work as bankers and betting hosts.
The event included entertainment by DJ Jimbo.
Money raised helps to support the many projects of the Emmaus Lions Club.
Future fundraising events include the Creative Basket Party, hoagie sales, chowder sale, golf shotgun scramble and ham and turkey dinners.
More information about projects and events can be found on their website e-clubhouse.org.
