\n

Takeout Tuesdays called for participants to order food from a local restaurant, post a photo on social media and tag 19th Ward Ald. Matt O\u2019Shea. Entrants\u2019 names were entered into a drawing, and the weekly winner received a $20 gift card to a local business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tickets are $10, and first place is a 2020 Ford Escape or $15,000; second place is $5,00 plus a year of free pizza from S&T Provisions in Mt. Greenwood; and third through fifth place is $100 to each of the 39 participating businesses. The winners will be drawn on Facebook Live on Sunday, Dec. 20. Tickets can be purchased at\u00a0the19thward.com.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to O\u2019Shea, $213,000 of tickets had been sold as of Dec. 14, and proceeds will go back to the businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The campaign received a boost from \u201cAn Evening of Laughter with Pat McGann\u201d on Dec. 4, as McGann, of Beverly, teamed up with business owners and other comedians for lighthearted night of fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

About 950 people registered for the virtual event, and over 700 attended. Guests had to purchase $50 worth of raffle tickets to gain admission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

O\u2019Shea is sponsoring the raffle with the 95th Street Business Association, County Fair Foods, McCarthy Ford, the Morgan Park Beverly Hills Business Association, the Mt. Greenwood Community & Business Association and S&T Provisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
