Davenport is getting ready to break ground on its first formal memorial of Dr. Martin Luther King, and the QC United is helping with a fundraiser, that can put money into your pocket as well.

QC United’s Pete the Bull’s $5,000 Cash Giveaway was launched today with proceeds primarily benefiting the new MLK Park at 501 Brady Street in Davenport, and Pete the Purple Bull’s College Scholarships. Additional beneficiaries include the 53rd Street Singers (North High Show Choir), West High Athletic Department, and Rock Island Elks Esquire Lodge.

To support the park, and possibly win that cash here is what you need to do. A donation of $10 will be equal to 1 ticket.  A $20 donation will get you 3 tickets.  Then you will be entered to win $2,000, $1,000, or one of four $500 prizes. You can enter once, or as many times as you want.  Winning entries will be drawn at the 21st Annual Swing into Education Golf Tournament sponsored by Pete the Bull at Duck Creek Golf Course on Friday, June 17, 2022. Participants need not be present at the drawing to win.

Pete the Bull could not be prouder to support the building of the new MLK Park in Davenport and looks forward to all the fantastic community work that will occur there.

MLK Park will be located at 501 Brady Street which was chosen in light of its local historical significance.  The design renderings for the MLK Park show a true community space for gathering, learning, remembrance, and celebration.
