November 2, 2020 – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Illinois continues to do everything it can to move forward with their work during the pandemic. COVID-19 has forced them to make the difficult decision of canceling all 2020 fundraising events. That means that they stand to lose $400,000 in revenue. So, in response, they are starting a 3-month Cash For Kids’ Sake Raffle.
All funds raised during this time will be dedicated to closing their revenue gap and continuing the child safety monitoring, youth resiliency coaching, and family support services to hundreds of Little Brothers and Little Sisters in the area. Cash For Kids’ Sake began on November 1 and will run through January 31, 2021. BBBS plans to give away $100,000 in total cash prizes and there are 40 chances for someone to win.
Tickets will be $100 and there will only be a total of 2,500 tickets available. A drawing will be held on February 1, 2021 at 1 pm live on their Facebook page. An early bird drawing will be held on December 15 at 1 pm for a chance to win $5,000 and will also be held live on their Facebook.
Tickets are available for purchase at give.classy.org/cashforkidssake.
