Which local gala has raised more than $1 million?
The Oscar goes to ... Black Tie Bingo, which this year, goes to the Oscars as it takes place the Night Before the Oscars, March 6, 2010.
Now in its 12th year, this much - loved gala shows no signs of slowing down. "We sold all 420 tickets by early January, and have a waiting list of about 20 people" commented the main organizer, Linda Craig. "The community support is really heart-warming."
Linda, the other Foundation staff and a dedicated team of volunteers led by Committee Chair Gail McKeen, execute myriad details from securing 200+ prizes, organizing shuttles and security, choosing the menu and décor, and managing the more than 50 volunteers who help make the evening a success.
"This year, our goal is to raise $140,000, net of expenses, to help the Hospital purchase equipment that will help change lives" commented Gail.
Here, the Foundation's Linda Craig works amidst a sea of prizes donated to our annual Black Tie Bingo gala.
