Local nonprofit Tri City Health Partnership is selling 200 raffle tickets for a chance to win VIP packages to two major Eric Clapton events this fall, with all proceeds funding the St. Charles-based free clinic's medical and dental services.
Here's what to know:
The prizes: Two winners will each receive a pair of VIP tickets to the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Austin, Texas on Sept. 26-27 (valued at over $5,000 each). Two more winners will each get a pair of VIP tickets to see Clapton at the United Center on Sept. 11 (valued at over $1,200).
The odds: Only 200 tickets will be sold at $100 each, and there's no limit on how many you can buy. You must be an Illinois resident to enter.
The deadline: Tickets are available through May 21 at 6PM or until they sell out. The drawing will be livestreamed on May 22 at noon.
The cause: TCHP is Kane County's only free medical and dental clinic, serving low-income, uninsured residents across the area.
“Every ticket purchased helps ensure our patients continue to receive the care they need, regardless of their ability to pay,” said Dani Ward, Executive Director. “This raffle is a unique way for supporters to make a meaningful impact while having the chance to experience world-class music.”
