During Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Dundee Township Park District and the Carpentersville police and fire departments are hosting an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast on May 12. It will run from 8 to 10 a.m. at the park district's Adult Activities Center, 665 Barrington Ave., Carpentersville. The fee is $5. Proceeds will go to two nonprofits supporting the mental health of first responders: Illinois Firefighter Peer Support and 100 Club of Illinois.
