A central Illinois non-profit is eyeing the return of its biggest fundraiser this spring.

Community Action had its biggest fundraiser, Cheeseburger in Paradise, canceled in 2020 due to COVID and in 2021 it was a very scaled-back version of the popular event held in Lincoln each year. Breann Titus is the Director for Community Development and indicates they are looking to return to a full-scale event on April 30 at the Lincoln Banquet Center.

According to Titus, the event is a night of great food, drinks, and lots of music. There is a live auction and a silent auction. She points out so much of the event is donated by local businesses. 

Titus explains they do not earmark funding from the annual event to specific causes because they often find money that flows in from the government tends to be late and so it helps to bridge the gap between the expenses for programming and the late government dollars.

Titus says seating is very limited and tables for the event are going fast. You can visit capcil.info for more information on the event, which again is Saturday, April 30.
