[May 04, 2021]
Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois’ (CAPCIL) annual
fundraiser Cheeseburger in Paradise, will be held on June 5th, 2021
at the Lincoln Banquet Center in Lincoln, IL.
This year’s event will look a little different due to COVID
guidelines and restrictions but will include options for in-person,
carry out and virtual participation. Currently, table sponsorships
to attend the in-person event are sold out, however carry out meal
tickets are available for purchase through May 20th.
Two carry out meal ticket options are available:
- Pineapple Ticket includes carry out meal and chance to win an
exclusive raffle item.
- Flamingo Ticket includes carry out meal, chance to win an
exclusive raffle item and souvenir cup.
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. In year’s past, attendees left
with a Yeti Cooler, Designer Handbag, custom built patio sets, grill
package, gift certificates and a myriad of other amazing items.
Donors receive social media spotlights and print promotion at the
event. This year, the Silent Auction will be hosted virtually
starting May 27th and ending June 4th.

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.
Historically, the agency is able to generate over $25,000 during this event to
help reduce poverty in our community. Sadly, the 2020 event was cancelled
because of the pandemic and CAPCIL is thankful to be able to host this year’s
event. 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.
