BUTLER CARVED IN ICE
Winter Ice Festival 2019

2019 will mark our 4th year hosting the Butler Carved In Ice festival. This years event will be held on Saturday, February 23, 2019 in Diamond Park and down Main Street in Butler. We’ll be hoping for the same wonderful weather and turn out for our club’s annual fundraiser. Over $60,000 has been raised during the past years allowing us to donate to our many charities and to continue to provide the leadership programs for our youth. This event includes large ice sculptures donated by area businesses, wine and beer tasting booths, 50-50 and large gift basket drawings, special activities for children, music, and family entertainment. Help make this year’s event a success by purchasing an ice sculpture for your business, organization or even a group of friends. Then make sure you come to the event and participate in the wine and beer tastings, raffles, chili cook-off, and all the fun and entertainment.

Salvation Army Bell RingingBell Ringing for Butler Salvation Army

Every December we are at Sam’s Club doors to ring the bell to collect money for our local Army. During the past 3 years the club has raised the most money of any organization in one day locally.

 

 

 


Treasures for Children Christmas gifts

Our members choose Salvation Army children to donate specific toys, shoes, and clothing as requested by the child or his parents. This amounts to thousands of dollars of gifts annually to help families in need to make this season of giving become a reality for local families who cannot afford to do so. Some of us also donate to elderly who need clothing or other items and would not receive them otherwise.
