The city carries insurance on the park, but the deductible is $25,000 – money the city can’t spare – so Take Back Antioch started soliciting donations to rebuild the popular park immediately following the incident.
The fundraiser will be held all day Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30, at UNO Chicago Grill, 4827 Lone Tree Way in Antioch. Diners who mention to their server the Take Back Antioch fundraiser when they’re seated will get 20 percent of their check donated to the City Park rebuilding fund.
The event also features a raffle of items donated by several local merchants. All proceeds go toward the City Park rebuilding fund. Raffle entrants needn’t be present to win when the tickets are drawn.
