CAPCIL celebrates another successful Cheeseburger fundraiser

 

[May 10, 2019] 

Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois (CAPCIL) hosted another sold out Cheeseburger in Paradise fundraiser on April 27th, 2019 at the Lincoln Banquet Center

The fundraiser has been quoted as “the social event of the year” by joining a paradise theme, cheeseburgers, live music and auction packages. With over 350 guests in attendance, this year’s event generated over $28,500 towards CAPCIL’s mission. “This event would not be possible without amazing community supporters who purchase table sponsorships and/or donate auction items, food, and volunteer their time,” said Breann Titus, Director of Agency Development.

Guests enjoy all you can eat cheeseburgers, yummy chicken wings, and delicious drink specials all while listening to live music provided by J Christopher “The World’s Most Dangerous One Man Band”. The event also boasts a live auction, silent auction, and Big Kahuna raffle.

CAPCIL provides Senior Nutrition (Meals on Wheels), Senior Transportation, LIHEAP and Weatherization, Head Start and Early Head Start, Foster Grandparents, Strengthening Working Families Initiative, and the Hand Up Project which includes Jobs for Life and financial literacy classes.

“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.”

CAPCIL would like to specifically thank Lincoln Banquet Center, Sysco, El Mazatlán, ALMH Community Health Collaborative, Eaton, Railsplitter Properties and Invenergy LLC for their platinum level sponsorships.
