FORT MADISON - The Fort Madison Family YMCA and Fort Madison Rotary Club are teaming up for a Steak Fry Fundraising Event on Thursday, May 19th, beginning at 5 p.m. with dinner at 5:30 pm.
This will include a steak dinner complete with ribeyes topped with sauteed mushrooms
and onions, baked potato, coleslaw, rolls, and tea, water, beer or wine. Entertainment will
include live music, auction, and kid-friendly activities.

Pre-ordering of tickets is highly encouraged to help with the planning of food. Tickets for the Steak Fry Dinner may be pre-purchased for $25 each now through May 5th, on the Fort Madison Family YMCA’s website: fortmadisony.org/steak-fry. Limited amount of tickets will be available at the door for $30 each.
Funds raised during this event will benefit the Fort Madison Family YMCA’s Annual Sustaining Campaign to help provide Scholarships and Financial Assistance to individuals and families in need. Funds will also go toward helping Fort Madison Rotary Club continue doing the great things they do every year which includes: donations of coats, scarves, and mittens to local school students; annually awarding three $1,000 scholarships for area students; sending several high school youth annually to a week-long leadership training experience: RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) and middle school students to YRYLA (Young RYLA); donating to MOST (Miles of Smiles), and repairs and improvements at Central Park, District 6000 Rotary Grant.
Last year the Fort Madison Family YMCA granted financial assistance to over 400 individuals for
YMCA programs and memberships, childcare assistance, summer camp, swim lessons, and
more.
The Fort Madison Rotary Club helped by supporting the Fort Madison High School
Football program with their continued, much needed, improvements to their
facilities; granted $1,000 to Lee County Crimestoppers; sponsored Fort Madison Swim Day at
the public pool; The Old Settlers Park Trick or Treat, and the Fort Madison Parade of Lights.
A Facebook event has been created and updates including event location, auction items, and
entertainment will be posted in the discussion feed of the event page. Details and updates may
also be found on the Fort Madison Family YMCA’s website.
