While on a business trip in 1951, Civitan Earl Carver stopped by a small bakery in Claxton, Georgia. He purchased a loaf of the bakery's fruit cake. It was so good, he purchased others to take home to Florida. He got the idea of his club selling the cake to raise money for projects. His club liked the idea and the sample cakes.

Civitan's most profitable fund raiser began and continues to be the chief fund raising project of many clubs. Civitan and Claxton Fruit Cake have become synonymous during the holiday season in Canada and the United States.

If your club is not selling Claxton Fruitcakes, contact our District Fruitcake Chair for details.  Also, the Civitan International Web Site (www.civitan.org) has some excellent information on how to start your own Claxton Fruitcake project.
