And the Winner of Our Holiday Gift Card Basket Is...

We collected over $400 of gift cards and certificates from Orland Park businesses that will go to our lucky winner before Christmas. And we donated the equivalent dollar amount to Hurricane Sandy relief.

It is our great pleasure to announce the winner of our first Orland Park Patch Holiday Gift Card Basket.

About 400 people entered, and the generous businesses listed below offered their wares and services in support of Hurricane Sandy relief.

The businesses gave enough for Patch to donate $405.85 to the American Red Cross for Sandy victims. This is an effort near to our hearts, as hundreds of our siblings out east were affected greatly by the tremendous storm.
