Love Foundation Reverse Raffle & Dinner | Win $10,000
About this Event
Join Love Foundation for an unforgettable evening of entertainment, excitement, and purpose at our Project Break the Cycle Reverse Raffle on June 13, 2026, at LaVera Party Center in Willoughby Hills.
Enjoy a delicious Prime Rib and Chicken Piccata dinner, open bar, live entertainment by Hollywood Mafia, inspiring guest speakers, interactive games, a Chinese Auction, Silent Auction, and reverse raffle drawings throughout the evening. The night will conclude with the drawing of our $10,000 Grand Prize Winner at 10:55 PM.
More than just a fundraiser, this event supports Love Foundation's mission to empower women, protect children, and help families affected by violence, trauma, crisis, abuse, and poverty. Through emergency assistance, community resources, our Free Community Store, holiday support programs, and Project Break the Cycle, we provide immediate support while working toward long-term solutions that help families heal, rebuild, and thrive.
What started as helping families during the holidays quickly revealed a much greater need in our community. We witnessed firsthand the devastating impact that abuse, trauma, and crisis can have on women and children. Too many families feel trapped, forgotten, or alone with nowhere to turn for support. Love Foundation was created to change that.
Funds raised from this event help provide emergency assistance, essential resources, life-skills support, and future transitional housing opportunities designed to help women and children build safe, stable, and independent lives.
Join us for a night of fun, prizes, and community impact while helping create brighter futures for families who need it most.
Breaking Cycles. Restoring Lives.
Empowering Women. Protecting Children.
What to Expect Throughout the Evening
Join us for an exciting night of fun, entertainment, great food, prizes, and purpose as we raise critical funds for women, children, and families affected by violence, trauma, crisis, abuse, and poverty.
