'Steak Your Claim' at WACO's meat raffle April 29

Join the Woodfield Area Children's Organization's third annual "Steak Your Claim" meat raffle fundraiser on Saturday, April 29, from 1 to 4 p.m., at Real Time Sports, 1120 W. Devon, Elk Grove Village.

For just one dollar a chance, you could win racks of lambs, one-pound rib-eye steaks, seafood, thick stuffed pork chops, and at least five slabs of bacon will be raffled. There also will be dozens of door prizes, other raffles and surprises.

"I didn't know what to expect the first time I went to it," says WACO supporter Dan Yohe. "But it was so much fun, and I won a ton of delicious meat. But sadly not the bacon!"

"I bought a lot of raffle tickets, but it was sure worth it to win that bacon last year," says meat raffle fan Linda Jacknow. "It took us the better part of the year to eat it all, and we're hoping to win some more this year."

WACO is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving disadvantaged children in the northwest and western suburbs. Ninety-seven cents of every dollar WACO raises goes to help the kids.

Proceeds from the meat raffle will be used to help WACO take more than 500 children on a Christmas Shopping Tour in early December. This year will mark the 25th year WACO has sponsored the shopping tour.
