If you’ve ever thought traditional bingo needed more variety in its prize department, the Kids-N-Hope Foundation has been reading your mind.
Their signature Purse & Power Tool Bingo event is returning for round two of three this month, and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like—a delightful mashup where everyone walks away happy, whether they’re into luxury handbags or premium cordless drills.
Mark your calendars for Friday, July 17th at 7 PM. The action unfolds at American Heritage Credit Union‘s Community Room on their Red Lion Road campus (that’s 2068 Red Lion Road in Philadelphia, for those keeping score). It’s the kind of fundraiser that proves you don’t have to choose between style and substance—or between a Kate Spade and a DeWalt.
What You’re Getting Into
Here’s the setup: 20 rounds of bingo with an impressive prize lineup featuring designer handbags and top-tier power tools. Because nothing says “community event” quite like the possibility of walking out with either a statement clutch or a professional-grade impact driver. The Foundation will also have raffle tickets available for purchase at the door, with additional prizes up for grabs.
Every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting pediatric health and life services, including programs like music therapy for kids. It’s fun with a purpose—the best kind of Friday night out.
More on the Calendar
If you can’t make the July event, don’t worry. The Foundation has one more Purse & Power Tool Bingo scheduled for Friday, November 13th. (No superstitions here—just good vibes and great prizes.)
But that’s not all the Foundation has cooking this year. They’re branching out with their first-ever Cow Chip Bingo & Community Day on Saturday, September 12th. Think local craft vendors, food trucks, kids’ games, and the main event: cow chip bingo. Yes, that involves exactly what you’re picturing, and yes, it’s going to be memorable.
Rounding out the season, the Foundation’s 31st annual Golf Classic tees off on Monday, September 28th at Huntingdon Valley Country Club for those who prefer their fundraising with a side of fairways.
Why It Matters
“We love seeing the support for The Foundation from our local community throughout the year,” said Bruce K. Foulke, the Foundation’s Founder and Chairman. “We are deeply appreciative of everyone who attends and hope that exciting events like our Purse & Power Tool Bingos continue to bring our supporters together around a meaningful and powerful cause!”
Translation: good people gathering for good reasons, with the bonus of potentially winning something awesome. That’s a bingo worth calling.
