Illinois Blessing NFP is proud to announce their 1st Annual “Rent Raffle!” Starting, June 18, 2012, Illinois Blessing NFP will begin selling $20.00 raffle tickets to individuals via mail request or online at www.illinoisblessing.org. The winning raffle ticket will be drawn at a live benefit concert event on September 1, 2012, and one raffle ticket buyer will have the possibility of being awarded the prize of “One Year of Rent/Mortgage Payments!”
All fundraiser net proceeds will benefit families struggling to make ends meet during this difficult time of economic crisis. Illinois Blessing NFP hopes to encourage enough people to purchase tickets for this exciting raffle not only to aid in the achievement of the organization's goal, but help change some very disturbing statistics (1.2 million Illinois residents became homeless in 2010, according to MSNBC & a Foreclosure News article.) Ultimately, people need hope for the future to keep on going every day—to keep living life, facing each struggle that comes their way. Illinois Blessing NFP realizes this and they aim to create funds to those in need in order to instill that sense of hope in them.
The event will include a featured guest saxophonist, D-Erania, “The Essence of Sound – Donella Stampley”- who is a soulful jazz presence in the Chicagoland area. This event will show in a meaningful way how Illinois Blessing NFP, really cares about struggling families.
Purchase your concert tickets at www.evitebrite.com/IllinoisBlessingNFP for $15 each. The event will start at 7pm and will be held at ETA Creative Art Theatre, 7558 S South Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60619-2644. Join us live for door prizes and to experience this fun event! A special guest will pull the winning raffle ticket!
