Applebee's holds Charity Auction to bring HOPE to Pekin

On Saturday morning, October 19th, Pekin Applebee’s Restaurant will be auctioning off all their memorabilia décor as they prepare to remodel their Pekin Facility.  The Charity Auction will begin at 9:00 a.m.  to 11 a.m. with doors opening at 8:00 a.m. to the public for viewing all items for sale.   Auction proceeds will benefit the Pekin Community through The HOPE Chest of Pekin as they help underpriviledged families right here in Tazewell County.

The Pekin Applebee’s will be undergoing a 1 week remodeling project in early November.  To give back to their community they decided to hold a Charity Auction and sell the memorabilia that has been decorating their establishment for years.  Items for sale will includevarious Pekin JFL team photos and medals, PHCS team photos, Tiffany Lamps, various beer signs, 8”x10” framed photos of celebrities, Coca Cola items, a carousel horse, Rail Road items, sports items, Cubs, Bears, and NASCAR memorabilia, and much much more.  Senator Dirksen items have been donated to the Pekin Public Library.  All items will be auctioned Oct. 19th  beginning at 9 a.m. 

Absentee bids can also be placed by stopping by the restaurant prior to the auction.

They partner with local charities and churches to reach out to underprivileged families in Central Illinois communities, by providing help and hope thru their thrift store, food pantry, and other programs. HOPE stands for: Helping Other People Excel.
