It was a banner year for a central Illinois non-profit's biggest fundraiser.

Breann Titus is the agency development Director for Community Action of Central Illinois and indicates it was a record-setting year for its annual fundraiser 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' and she is pleased with how the community came out to support them despite thunderstorms that rolled through.

Titus credits the success of the online auction and several vacation packages they had for the increase in funds raised this year. She is very thankful for the support the community continues to show them.

Cheeseburger in Paradise funds goes to all corners of Community Action's missions. Titus says several programs could use the boost in funding.

Titus takes pride in the fact Cheeseburger in Paradise offers an atmosphere that makes it an event that people want to come out for with live music, fresh food straight from the grill, and plenty of great drinks and entertainment for everyone.
