Sean Hayes Lends Support To Fundraiser For Glen Ellyn Food Pantry

GLEN ELLYN, IL — Glen Ellyn native Sean Hayes is lending his support to his hometown's food pantry — the pantry is raffling off a bottle of Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon, and Hayes will draw the winning ticket.

By helping out the food pantry, Hayes is continuing a family tradition — his mother, Mary Hayes, was a founding employee of the Northern Illinois Food Bank, the Chicago Tribune reported, and is credited for the Food Bank's child nutrition programs.

Hayes, most known for his role as Jack McFarland on NBC's "Will & Grace," graduated from Glenbard West High School, the Daily Herald reported.

Tickets for the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry raffle cost $10 each, and anyone wishing to enter the raffle can go here and click on the orange "Donate Now" button on the top right.

Everyone who donates will be sent a confirmation receipt, which must be forwarded to jkrcburket@sbcglobal.net in order to be entered in the drawing.

Those who donate $50 or more to the Pantry will see their prize doubled, pantry officials wrote on Facebook.

"That's right, TWO (2) bottles of relatively difficult-to-find and delicious Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon will make their way to your home's bar," the Facebook post reads.

The raffle closes on Sunday at 5 p.m. After it closes, Glen Ellyn's Jim Burket will mail Hayes a bag of raffle tickets.

Burket will post a prerecorded video of Hayes naming the winner to his Facebook page at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 17, according to the Daily Herald.
