Week in Paradise early bird drawing on Wednesday

Amberly’s Place has kicked off its annual Week in Paradise fundraiser, and the early-bird drawing will take place Wednesday evening.

The drawing for “paradise” vacation packages is the agency’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The family advocate center uses the funds to help abuse victims in Yuma County and parts of Imperial County with their emergency needs.

This year 11 packages will be given away, with the early-bird winner drawn at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Z Fun Factory. The early-bird winner will receive four 2022 season passes to Waylon’s Water World and a day at Z Fun Factory for four with dinner, go-karts, miniature golf and arcade games; and two active recovery or therapeutic massages by Myolab.

The early-bird winner will also be entered for a chance to win one of the remaining 10 vacation prizes.
