ROANOKE (WSLS 10) - One display at Hotel Roanoke's "Fashions for Evergreens" is going above and beyond to make a difference for The United Way.

VA811 created an elaborate minion display as part of the fundraiser that annually gives to The United Way, but designers came up with the idea to raffle off some of the 100 stuffed minions as a way to raise even more money for the non-profit.

"With this we had all these minions and as were putting the tree up we had a lot of people coming by with little children and they were very interested in these minions, so we thought what a cool idea to go ahead and raffle these off," said Rick Pevarski, VA811 President and CEO.

If you would like to enter the minion raffle stop by Hotel Roanoke and drop your name and information in the box next to the display.
