Pettinari’s is stepping up and raffling off what he does best: Meat. The $10 a ticket meat raffle fundraiser includes two racks of ribs, two ribeyes, two porterhouse, two New York strips, two pounds each of ground chuck, sausage and chicken cutlets. One-hundred percent of raffle ticket sales will go to the Parma Playground Fund.

“We have a lot of really loyal customers,” said Katie Pettinari. “I think it is definitely important to be involved in the community, because they are here supporting us and create a lot of jobs within our business locally. We like to give back anytime we can. We go to that park all the time. My kids play baseball, soccer and football there and use the skate park. It is a big part of my kids’ childhood, so we are really excited to make that accessible for all children."

The Hilton Parma Recreation fundraising effort is only $7,000 from reaching its goal. They will start assembling of the new playground June 10 with a grand reopening planned sometime after July 4.

The $10 meat raffle tickets can be purchased at Pettinari’s on Roosevelt Highway. The winner will be announced Tuesday. They’re also planning a Sunday Funday $20 Sausage Tasting fundraiser on June 6 from 3:30-6:00 p.m. outside Pettinari’s. Click here to donate directly to the playground fund.
