CHANUTE — The Friends of Tri-Valley Foundation is having a Boardwalk BBQ fundraiser Tuesday at Chanute’s Central Park Pavilion.

Proceeds from the event will help the Foundation continue its mission to support those with intellectual or developmental disabilities.  

Money raised from past events has helped the Foundation build six homes as well as acquire seven additional homes and one duplex in Iola, Chanute, Fort Scott, Humboldt, Buffalo, Moline and Neodesha, housing 64 clients.

Tickets are $30 apiece, or $210 for a table of eight.

The doors to the Pavilion, 101 S. Forest St., will open at 6 p.m. with dinner to be served at 6:30.

Festivities include a silent and live auction, with auctioneer Dave Petersen donating his services. Among the items up for bid are a seven-night stay for four in Kissimmee, Fla., and a  three-night stay at a bed-and-breakfast in Branson, Mo., courtesy of Monarch Cement. 

Plants grown at Tri-Valley’s Fort Scott greenhouse will be given as door prizes.
