Save the date for Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois’ (CAPCIL) annual fundraiser Cheeseburger in Paradise. Cheeseburger in Paradise will be held on April 21st, 2018 at the Lincoln Banquet Center in Lincoln.

The highly anticipated event continues to be a huge success and has sold out the last two years. Table Sponsorships and Individual tickets are now available for purchase and going fast. Tickets are sold for individuals or in various packages.

The Cloud Nine package includes eight entry tickets.

The Greater Flamingo package includes eight entry tickets, will be the third to go through the food line and has four complimentary raffle tickets.

The King Parrot package includes up to 16 entry tickets, will be second to go through the food line and includes a gift basket.

The Big Cheese package includes up to 16 entry tickets, will be the first to go through the food line, a gift basket as well as media promotion.

CAPCIL is also currently seeking auction items for their fundraiser. They are looking for items for the live auction as well as the Big Kahuna Raffle and silent auction. Last year attendees left with a Yeti Cooler, Coach Bag, custom built patio set, grill package and a myriad of other amazing items. Donors receive social media spotlights and print promotion at the event.

There are many volunteer opportunities available including: set up, raffle ticket sales, greeters, food servers, cup sales, clean up, and so much more.

Cheeseburger in Paradise is the biggest event hosted by CAPCIL every year. The last two years the agency was able to generate over $25,000 during this event to help reduce poverty in our community. This is the opportunity to help people out of poverty into a life of lasting independence – one cheeseburger at a time. CAPCIL appreciates the support the community has given and is looking forward to hosting another memorable event.

For those interested in purchasing a package or tickets to attend this beachy fundraiser, donating an item to the auction and/or raffle, or sending in a monetary contribution can contact Katie Dalpoas or Breann Titus at [phone] or you can visit the website www.capcil.info and click on the Cheeseburger link.

It is the mission of CAPCIL, in partnership with communities in our service area, to empower persons with low income and the aged by creating and implementing poverty-fighting initiatives for those in crisis and those that endeavor a life of lasting independence.
