The Giddy-up Gala, Pensacola Beach Optimist Club's spring fundraiser for Pensacola Beach Elementary School and other youth projects is 6 p.m. April 19, at Flounders. Admission is $50 and rootin' tootin' raffle tickets are $100.

Tim Spenser will provide the music, and the barbecue feast is being rounded up by the chefs at Flounders. Chuck Randle's thrilling raffle always has the party patrons on the edge of their seats every year at this time as $5,000 in prize money is given away through the exciting evening.

Just 100 raffle tickets are sold and here is how Chuck's raffle works:

First ticket drawn gets $100. The 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th tickets drawn each get $200.

The 50th ticket drawn wins $500.

The 60th ticket drawn gets $200 & the 70th, 80th & 90th tickets drawn each win $300.

The super grand prize is given to the very last raffle ticket drawn, therefore, the 100th raffle ticket drawn wins the $2,500.
