Local Sports Calendar

United Way of Effingham County is busy planning for the Cheeseburgers on Bourbon Street fundraiser. The evening will be filled with great fun, great food and great entertainment. The United Way would like to invite EVERYONE to come out and enjoy the Mardi Gras setting. The event is scheduled for Friday, February 13 at the Effingham Knights of Columbus Hall.

Advance tickets are $25 per person or $30 at the door. Tickets can be purchased from any United Way Board Member, Midland States Bank or by calling the United Way office at (217) 342-3824. Cheeseburgers on Bourbon Street tickets would make a great Christmas gift for family, friends and co-workers!

Doors will open at 5:30 pm with the meal being served from 6-7:30 pm. Entertainment for the night will be provided by the "One Man Band" with a raffle & silent auction. A live auction will be conducted by local auctioneer, Trent Schmid. There will be great items and get-away packages to bid on, so come out and have fun! The United Way supports 21 local health and human service agencies. All proceeds from the night's festivities will go into the general funds to help support the programming provided by these agencies.

If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please call the United Way office at 342-3824.
