Beyond a 10-game bingo packet and meal (for $50.00 per person), there will be a “Special Game” featuring a Louis Vuitton designer bag valued at $2,000.00. Tickets for this special game can be purchased for $20 each. Extra regular game packets can be purchased for $10 each. Also available will be a raffle of elegant, themed baskets, Lucky Bucks raffle and silent auction. Guests that bring a household cleaning item for our Share a Dream program that benefits at-risk mothers in transition or a box of menstrual products (pads or tampons) for The Period Project that helps combat period poverty will receive a free raffle ticket for a chocolate tray donated by Lily's Chocolate Paradise.
