Bingos and Fundraising 

​To supplement our program costs ($4,500 per member), parents and/or 18+ members are required to work a specific number of bingos, a single bingo raises over $1,500 and plays a crucial role in supporting our program. We have established specific bingo point requirements for each member, each bingo shift worked counts as one point that will contribute to your total number of 'Bingos Worked'. The bingo requirement for families are:

One Child Enrolled - 8 Bingos 

Two or More Children Enrolled - 5 Bingos each

 

If a parent can not work all mandatory bingos there is the option to pay $100, which is equivalent to

1 bingo point. Once all required bingos are completed, parents have the option to continue working bingos where one shift will equate to $100, which can be put towards paying off member fees.

 Bingo's take place at West End Bingo Hall (17304 105 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5S 1G4) and run from 4:45pm - 9:30pm. To signup for bingos, please check TeamLinkt for the signup sheet or contact our Bingo Coordinator - Liz Sylvester to sign up!
