Break out your favorite party outfit and your best tennies for a night of fun to benefit the Champaign Park District Jimmy John’s Youth Scholarship Program!
Here are 6 ways helping kids can be so fun at Ties & Tennies:
1. In addition to a delicious meal, 2 drink vouchers, and the joy of helping kiddos in our community, every Ties & Tennies ticket purchased will be placed in a raffle to win 4 tickets to see ANY show at the Virginia Theatre in 2020 (must be present to win). You read that right…ANY show!
2. Our culinary line up will have your taste buds dancing with fun:
3. Back by popular demand is the Wheel Barrel of Fun Raffle! We will have an actual wheel barrel full of wine, beer, and spirits for $20 per raffle ticket or 3 for $50.
4. Test your luck with the adult version of this fun childhood carnival game-The Wine Pull!
We will have 50 different bottles of wine ranging in value from $20-$100 for you to win! Select a cork from the board and win the matching bottle of wine. For $20 per pull, no one loses in this fun game of chance!
5. We will be raffling off various baskets full of fun! Find a basket of goodies you like and place as many $5 raffle tickets (or 5 tickets for $20) you like in the corresponding container. The more raffle tickets entered, the better your chances!
6. We will have fun live performances from our record-breaking Youth Theatre Frozen Jr. cast, the elegance and grace of our Dance Arts Conservatory, and once again we’ll have the musical styling of Randy Salman Trio!
By purchasing tickets for Ties & Tennies, you are helping to make the community a better place for our children to grow.

How does the Jimmy John’s Youth Scholarship Program help children in our community?
For many families facing financial hardships, fun recreational & leisure activities are left on the back burner unless provided help. Having access to the Jimmy John’s Youth Scholarship Program means the opportunity for children to express their creativity in a cultural arts class, have a safe place to go afterschool, compete on a sports team, or simply socialize with friends. We need your support to go beyond and make an impact today!
The impact of 2 Ties & Tennies tickets can last a whole week for a kiddo looking for a safe and fun place to connect this summer. Here are some other ways your donation can impact the children in our community:
Party | Party Description |
---|---|
Super Silly Science | Celebrate your child’s special day, as they discover the fun of science. The children will be lead through a pre-determined science activity. This party adds an ingredient of science fun to your child’s birthday celebration. |
Cupcake Decorating | Come get creative with this cupcake decorating party. This party will include cupcake decorating tips and actual cupcakes to decorate and enjoy. For allergies or special diets, please talk to the party coordinator to see if we can accommodate. |
Tie-Dye Birthday Special | Come join in on the tie-dye fun! Kids will make their own tie dyed T-shirts. You pick the colors and the mess stays with us. Party guests or renter must provide their own t-shirts. We will provide the rest! |
Basketball Superstars | Calling all basketball stars! Kids will have a great time playing basketball with their friends. Baskets can be lowered to 8 feet for younger children. The two hour party includes a one hour full-court basketball rental and a gym attendant to assist you with court set up and guests. This party does not include any pre-planned games. |
