"Any house, condo, or timeshare would be great that could be used as a raffle prize," she said. "It is always a mutually agreed date.

"A tax letter will be given as it is a non-profit and tax deductible."

Margaret said please call 618-466-6151 if you would be willing to help with this great event.

Last year's event was a huge success and a total of $56,000 was raised. Margaret and her granddaughters co-founded this significant charitable event.

All proceeds raised benefit Community Christmas and provide a huge boost each year to the campaign.
