Benefit pancake breakfast Sunday, March 15, in honor of heroic crossing guard

UPDATE: This event has been canceled.

A benefit pancake breakfast in honor of a heroic crossing guard is planned from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sunday, March 15, at Christ the King Catholic Church, Davern Hall, 53rd and Leavenworth Road, Kansas City, Kansas.

The funds raised at the Knights of Columbus pancake breakfast will go to a scholarship fund at Christ the King School in memory of Bob Nill, a crossing guard who was killed while on duty in a traffic accident Feb. 18. He is credited with saving the lives of two schoolchildren.

His family also recently set up a GoFundMe account to help with the scholarship fund at https://www.gofundme.com/f/BobNillKCKMemorial?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=p_nacp%20share-sheet&rcid=d6bc83dc65f0414893f5ebaa6920877a&fbclid=IwAR3Y8ApZKYJaco7CJf7zweWfUWcaESPDFUJSMhCASW6k3CMSg2fdn3YtxZ4.
