The nonprofit Rogers Park Business Alliance (RPBA) is proud to present a new shop local campaign, Shop Where Your Heart Is, now through the end of February. Weekly raffle drawings will be held to encourage shoppers to support small independently owned businesses in Rogers Park, and a Grand Prize of $1000 in grocery store gift cards will be awarded at the end of the month. Customers can enter receipts online or in-person, and winners will be announced via RPBA’s weekly e-newsletters and social media and notified through email/phone. For more information, go to rpba.org/2021/01/shop-where-your-heart-is/.
Customers who shop at local businesses can submit receipts totaling $25 or more to enter the raffle for a chance to win gift cards from local restaurants and stores. Weekly drawings will be held on Wednesdays with three winners announced each week. A Grand Prize of $1,000 will be awarded at the end of the month for use at independent grocery stores in Rogers Park. All participants will be included in the grand prize raffle.
For weekly raffle drawings, the first place winner will receive two $50 gift cards from two Rogers Park restaurants of their choice. Second place receives one $50 gift card, and third place a $25 gift card, from a Rogers Park business of their choice.
Each receipt counts for one entry, and customers can submit as many receipts as they would like, using an online form (www.tinyurl.com/shoprp2021) or by dropping off at the RPBA office (1448 W. Morse Ave). When submitting online, each receipt needs to be entered with a separate form.
Businesses that are independently owned and located within the boundaries of Rogers Park qualify for the campaign. A map is available here.
