The Eagles presented a check to Children's Mercy Hospital on April 3, 2010, for $10,609.74. This money was raised in 2009. Our thanks go out to all the merchants who help us put this benefit on and to all the people who come out and support us. This is a yearly event and is held on the first Saturday in April. The money raised in 2010 will be presented later this year.

The Eagle's have been putting on this benefit for several years and everything is donated from the food to the music and everything that is auctioned off. The merchants are very generous and very much appreciated as well as the people who come to buy the auction products.

All Eagle's work together to make this a big success and the money is given to different departments from heart, diabetes, and others.
