Win a Free Trip at the 20-30 Club's Suitcase Party

PHOENIX - The 20-30 Club is holding their annual suitcase party, but this is no ordinary charity event. You could fly away with a free trip!

"I had just gotten back from Napa that Monday and that Friday was my girlfriend's birthday and we decided to go to the Suitcase Party...no expectations of winning or anything, but we were outside checking out this other plane, a Cirrus that has a parachute in it and looking at the plane, my client comes around and starts yelling 'get over here you won, you've got 10 seconds."

And just like that, Joe Clarken and his girlfriend had won an all-expense paid trip to Napa on a private jet.

"So I had to hop this fence and go inside and next thing you know, everyone in the entire place was staring at me and I go up on stage and find out I had won a trip to Napa and just walked across and got on the plane and headed up," said Clarken.

The trip Joe had won was the grand raffle prize at the 20-30 Club's annual fundraiser called the Phoenix Suitcase Party.

"Basically, your ticket into the event is a raffle ticket," said 20-30 club member Tom Capaldi.

The event is held at the Deer Valley Airport with food and drinks, music and great company. The goal is for the club to raise money for children's charities.

The only must is a suitcase just in case your number gets drawn. You have to be ready to be whisked away on the spot.

So mark your calendars for the suitcase party, pack lightly and before you know it, you just might be sipping wine in some of the most beautiful vineyards around.

Jet Team donated the private jet. Everything else the trip entails were also donated. Tickets for the event are $100 - $150. The second raffle prize is a weekend in Sedona.
