The events will take place at the Palisades Community Center from 7-10 a.m. July 4. Free pancakes will be grilled and served by volunteer firefighters. There is a $5 suggested donation.
For the baking contest, contestants will provide three sets per entry. Two sets will be auctioned off through a silent auction and one will be used by the judges.
The categories are cookies and squares, cakes, dessert pies and open sweets (any entry different from the others). There is a $5 entry fee per category. All entries must be dropped off at 6 p.m. July 3 at the Palisades Community Center. The winners will be displayed from 7-9 a.m. at the pancake breakfast.
Formal proceedings for the event begin at 9 a.m. The silent auction for the baked goods will close and the auction winners will be announced.
Certificates of community appreciation also will be awarded.
The Daniel R. Sayre Memorial Foundation is a volunteer-operated, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing essential equipment and training to the Hawaii Fire Department. More than $1 million in donations and pledged equipment have been raised since the foundation’s inception in 1997.
