Some ticket purchasers have expressed that they are grateful for great friends, health of family, Park Lawn families, Park Lawn and all the staff that make Park Lawn possible, freedom and money to buy a raffle ticket.

The “Be Grateful” winners will be announced Thursday, November 15, at 12:00 PM. Winner need not be present.  The drawing will take place at Park Lawn School, 10833 S. LaPorte in Oak Lawn.  

Local non-profit organization Park Lawn Association provides residential and vocational support through a total of 12 facilities throughout the South Suburbs of Chicago for more than 450 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
