Thanks again to the Batavia Moose Lodge for hosting a fun night at the beach for our BMCF Bunco event. Aside from the main event, we had a blast rolling dice, playing musical chairs, shaking cow bells, playing the game of 'What's In Your Purse', wine pulling, 50/50 raffle and 30 baskets giveaways. It was one heck of a night and a lot of laughter and memorable moments.
We also want to thank all the new and existing BMCF members that volunteered at this event to make it so successful!
All money raised from this event and other events through the Batavia Mothers' Club Foundation go directly back to the community through the schools or local organizations that focus on helping children and families.
Another fun and amazing time at Bunco 2023. Thanks to all that participated, volunteered and supported this wonderful event to give back to our local schools and community.

This year's event was almost at max capacity. Attendees enjoyed traveling back to the 80s listening to tunes from Bon Jovi and Cyndi Lauper to El Debarge and Stevie Wonder as well as noshing on refreshments from Enticing Cuisine or snacks like candy cigarettes. Raffles and mini games accompanied the main event, Bunco, as well. Both volunteers and attendees alike donned neon, leg warmers, acid-washed jeans or Flashdance-inspired gear and were met with many laughs. We had a wonderful time this year and we hope that all of our participants did as well!
Our 2nd Annual Bunco Charity Fundraiser was held on January 30, 2016, at the Batavia Moose Lodge (1535 S. Batavia Ave., Batavia, IL 60510). We had a wonderful turnout with this event selling out! Lots of fun was had by all with raffle prizes, silent auction, heads or tails game, door prizes, snacks, and a cash bar. We are grateful to our sponsors and to all of our participants for making this event such a wonderful success!

The First Annual Bunco Charity Fundraiser was a huge success! Over 70 participants rolled the dice on February 7th, 2015, looking to win a variety of prizes including jewelry, wine, and gift certificates. They also enjoyed participating in a "heads or tails" fundraiser and a silent auction which included tickets to Blackhawks and Bulls games, golf outings, high-end Craftsman tools items, and spa/hotel stays. Participants also sampled fabulous food from Aliano's Ristorante in Batavia and delicious desserts provided by The Party Kitchen in Geneva.

What if the weather is bad? Weather in April in Illinois is unpredictable. At Fox Trot we have seen it all: rain, snow, sleet, wind. The race will be held regardless of weather conditions with the exception of lightning. If there is lightning we will make a race day decision to keep everyone safe.
What if I can't come? We do not provide refunds. As a non-profit all of our proceeds from Fox Trot are distributed to local organizations that work to improve the lives of children in our communities. Know that your registration fees are going to a good cause.
Are strollers allowed? We are a group of moms and we love to see runners with strollers! We ask that you respect the space and pace of other runners and start in the back of the pack if needed.
Are dogs allowed? Many of us are dog-lovers and owners ourselves but the possible liability issues with dogs is a risk our non-profit can't take. Please no furry friends on the run.

Like most events of 2020, the BMCF Autumn Craft & Vendor Show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Applicants had the option of donating their application fee to the Batavia Mothers’ Club Foundation, or to transferring their application fee to the 2021 Craft Show.
Our 2019 Program and map are available for your reference.
The Batavia Mothers’ Club Foundation (BMCF) held its 34th Annual Autumn Craft & Vendor Show on Saturday, October 19,2019, at Batavia High School. Over 850 shoppers came through the doors to enjoy more than 100 crafters and vendors, the ever-popular bake sale, a charity raffle, the 50/50 raffle, the Community Pumpkin Patch, and lunch served by McAlister’s Deli and Bernie’s Bully Dogs.
BMCF would like to thank all of the participants in the Community Pumpkin Patch. Charities from across the Fox Valley carved and/or decorated pumpkins and gourds to display in our Pumpkin Patch. Attendees of the show donated spare change to their favorite pumpkin’s cauldron. All monies raised through the pumpkin patch went directly to the group that designed the pumpkin. Participating organizations this year were 1st Grade Daisy Girl Scout Troop 1708, 1st Grade Daisy Girl Scout Troop 1544, 7th Grade Cadette Girl Scout Troop 111, Aunt Mary’s Storybook Project, Batavia Activity & Athletic Foundation, Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry, Batavia Women’s Club, Batavia United Way, Chip In, H.C. Storm Elementary, JB Nelson Elementary SAB, Marklund, and Suicide Prevention Services..
BMCF appreciates the support of all of our sponsors and in-kind donors in making our largest community event and fundraiser a success. Special thanks to our platinum sponsors: Apollo Development & Investment, A.R. Bohr Roofing LLC, and Orange Theory Fitness. Proceeds from the show are distributed to local charities whose work improves the lives of children and families in our community.
Thanks to our 2019 Craft Show Sponsors!
