ANNUAL PANCAKE BREAKFAST 

This year our annual pancake breakfast and silent auction was held on Sunday Oct. 1st, 2023 from 8am to 1pm at the Bloomington Event Center 1114 American Blvd W Bloomington, MN.  The tickets at the door were $9 per person. Children under 6 were free.

Next year the date for our event is Sunday Oct. 6th.

Many of our BAJ members help with this one and only fund raising event. We have this opportunity to give back to Bloomington, because without Bloomington’s support, the BAJ organization would not exist. Volunteers have a lot of fun and it is a very rewarding experience.

Thanks to the volunteers listed below for all their work.

(Any BAJ member that would like to help out, please contact a volunteer below. We can always use help with dining room & kitchen)

Where does this money go? In 2010 we gave $9,000 in scholarships to Bloomington seniors that have participated in varsity sports. We also donated $5000 to help put artificial turf on Kennedy & Jefferson practice fields at the schools. 

In 2011 we gave $11,000 in scholarships and $4,000 to the “Random Acts of Kindness” program. This $4,000 will be used to help students pay athletic fees when they can’t afford to.

In 2012 we gave $11,000 in scholarships and $3,000 to the “Random Acts of Kindness” program.

Also, in 2013, we gave $7000 in scholarships and another $3000 to the Bloomington schools.

In 2014 & 2015 we gave $18,000 in scholarships and $3000 to the RAK project at the Bloomington schools.

In 2016 we gave $13,500 in scholarships.

In 2017 we gave $16,500 in scholarships.

In 2018 & 2019 we gave $18,000 in scholarships.

In 2023 we awarded $12,000 in scholarships and $7,000 to other organizations.
