The Southbury Community Lions Club is launching a monthly Bingo Night fundraiser to benefit the Southbury Ambulance Association, continuing a partnership that dates back more than 70 years.
Founded in 1953 by the Southbury Lions Club, the volunteer-based emergency medical service grew from a shared commitment to “neighbors helping neighbors.” Early Lions raised money for the association’s first ambulance and essential equipment through ham-and-bean dinners. Today, the club is carrying that tradition forward with a new community fundraiser.
Bingo Night will be held on the third Friday of each month and will serve as the club’s primary fundraiser. Proceeds will help the Southbury Ambulance Association purchase essential equipment, train staff and meet other critical operational needs. The first event is Friday, November 20th, in the multipurpose room at the Southbury Park and Recreation Building. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and games begin at 6 p.m. Community members are invited to enjoy an evening of bingo and prizes while supporting local emergency services.
