7th Annual Firefighter’s Pancake Breakfast
Charlotte, NC - The Center City Green Market is proud to present our Firefighter’s Pancake Breakfast to benefit the NC Firefighters’ Burned Children’s Fund. This yearly favorite is back for the 7th year. Charlotte Firefighters will be on site cooking delicious pancakes for only a $5.00 suggested donation, with all proceeds benefiting the Firefighters’ Burned Children’s Fund! Kids’ plates only $3.
Members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Chapter of the Firefighters’ Burned Children Fund will cook and serve delicious pancakes to benefit the fund. Pancake batter will be donated by BluPrint Restaurant. Blueberries and honey will be donated by Green Market vendors.
That $5 donation gets you a stack of pancakes, butter, syrup and fresh blueberries. Coffee and orange juice served separately. We'll have a great area at the market for you to stay and eat or you can get them to go. The firefighters will be on hand along with some of the Big Red Trucks for the little kids (and big kids) to explore. Shop for great produce, honey, baked goods and more from our Green Market vendors.

The Firefighters' Burned Children Fund is a non-profit organization developed by area firefighters to support burn survivors and to prevent burn injuries before they occur. The Firefighters' Burned Children Fund promotes the involvement of fire departments and fire service organizations that are interested in working within their communities and with other participants of the Fund in reducing the number and the severity of burn injuries and fatalities. More information is available at www.ffbcf.org.
The Center City Green market is an Urban Farmer's Market that exists to provide Uptown Charlotte workers, residents, and visitors with locally grown foods and farm products in a direct producer-to-consumer marketing venue. The Green Market sets up on the plazas at Trade and Tryon and with over 27,000 pedestrian trips occurring at this location we believe the market will serve diverse populations, promote regional agriculture and improve the quality of Uptown life.
Access Information Ride the LYNX Light Rail and exit at the CTC/Arena Station. Walk one block west to the Square.
On Saturday: Free on-street parking will be available along Tryon Street adjacent to the market and in the surface parking lot at the intersection of 3rd St and Tryon St.
