Kappa Kappa Gamma will hold the second annual “Kaw River Carnival” on Sunday to benefit Brookcreek Learning Center, a preschool for at-risk children.

The carnival will take place at Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., from 1 to 5 p.m.

Kacie Dienstbach, philanthropy chair of Kappa Kappa Gamma, said that Abe and Jake’s was an ideal location for the event for its ample space the sorority will be able to use. The Littleton, Colo., sophomore, said the sorority would donate the money from the carnival to the preschool. Delta Chi will also take part in the fundraiser.

“I think it’s important that we’re giving to an organization in Lawrence,” Dienstbach said. “We will get to actually see the results of our donation.”

Dienstbach said the sorority raised $3,000 last year, attracting 300 to 400 people.

The carnival will feature a variety of children’s games and activities such as a moonwalk, a fishing pond and a lollipop tree.

“This is not just a Greek fundraiser,” Dienstbach said. “I’m looking forward to the kids getting the opportunity to participate in the carnival.”

Cost to the carnival is based on the amount of games that the children play. One dollar buys four tickets and that the average cost of a game is two tickets. Prizes, gift certificates, CDs and toys will be awarded for individual games.

“This event is for the children and the benefits are all going toward the children, so it all goes together,” Dienstbach said.
