The South Side Irish Parade Committee put out a fundraising call on its Facebook page Monday in advance of Sunday's parade, announcing they were selling 1,000 raffle tickets at $50 apiece, with the winner receiving the full $10,000 pot.
The committee admitted they were behind on their fundraising efforts, which go towards the costs of staging the parade. Most of the committee's fundraising efforts are in the form of golf outings and parties throughout the year.
To buy a ticket, you can message the committee via their Facebook page or visit their office at 10934 S. Western, until 6 p.m. The offices will also be open from noon- 4 p.m. March 9.
