April is annually the biggest fundraiser for a central Illinois non-profit and its leadership has been working the last few years to expand the reach of the fundraiser.

Cheeseburger in Paradise is Community Action's biggest fundraiser. Director of Agency Impact, Breann Titus explains the fundraiser can bring in anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 and it helps with programming its grants do not cover.

According to Titus, they have sought in the last few years to break the stigma that the event is a Lincoln/Logan County-only event. She explains they have promoted to businesses in their agency area the impact they have on the community in hopes of gaining more support and more people from outside Lincoln to attend.

Cheeseburger in Paradice comes up on Saturday, April 27 at the Lincoln Banquet Center. There are still tickets and tables available but Titus indicates they do go fast so she encourages getting on the Community Action website, capcil.info for all those details.
