So no child is left out!
Beneventi's Pizza in Bingen is hosting a Community BBQ and Swimming Pool Coin Toss on June 13 -- the last day of school.
The event will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the Whitson Elementary School grounds, just outside the swimming pool.
The purpose of the barbecue is to raise enough money to provide one free swim day (two sessions) every week throughout the summer for community families.
"Our goal is to allow 90 people per session to swim free for two sessions on one given day, each week, throughout the summer," said Tammi Beneventi.
Beneventi's Pizza will be providing the all-you-can-eat barbecue hamburgers, baby back ribs, Italian sausage and hot dogs. Beneventi owners will also provide plates, napkins, drinks, and tableware.
Attendees are asked to bring a potluck salad or dessert (optional) and blanket or chairs to sit on.
Cost of the meal is $5 per person with any spare change being "tossed" into the swimming pool. Donations will also be accepted.
"The more money we raise, the more time we can purchase," said Paul Beneventi. "We're giving 100 percent of all proceeds to provide the free swim days."
He noted the fundraising goal is a minimum of $4,000.
Paul Beneventi said the idea for the event came about over a concern that some community children could not afford to swim at the city pool on a weekly basis.
"We don't want any child or their family to be left out," he said.
