Wednesday evening bingo is fundraising for the American Cancer Society
In 2017, a group of Relay For Life of Front Royal/Warren County volunteers brainstormed an incredible fundraising idea –Bingo! Since then, volunteers Brad Fletcher, Tony Knave, and a devoted group from Relay have hosted a weekly Wednesday evening Bingo fundraiser at the Front Royal Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department in Front Royal, Virginia. It is such a popular community gathering and game night, that they’ve raised $275,000 for the American Cancer Society’s RFL since they began.
Knave, a testicular cancer survivor who runs Master Jam Productions, calls the Bingo numbers. “Tony is very entertaining, funny, and witty, and has a following,” said Fletcher, who works for Fletcher Construction and got involved with Relay seven years ago through his sister, a cancer survivor. In addition, Fletcher’s wife is a skin cancer survivor.
“We have a regular group of Bingo players who love the cause, but everyone is welcome. We rent the fire department hall,” said Fletcher. “Proceeds from Bingo support the American Cancer Society’s mission to eradicate the disease.”
Bingo opens at 5 p.m. every Wednesday. Early bird drawing at 6:30 pm. Regular Bingo at 7pm. There are food and refreshment concessions that also raise money for ACS. Check out the treasure chest, progressive, and tip progressive prizes weekly, and get more info at facebook.com/frwcrfl. Congratulations to this hard-working group of Relay volunteers!
