Bargain hunters, bingo lovers and fun seekers mark your calendars now: The SUCCESS Project’s Designer Bag Bingo returns to Bel Air on August 12! One of the non-profit’s most popular fundraisers, the event gives supporters a different way to interact and give back to local families. Participants have the chance to win a new designer handbag each round of play as well as door prizes and other raffles. Admission is $30 in advance or $35 at the door, which provides a booklet of 20 bingo game cards plus a door prize ticket. Guests who bring a donation of household paper or personal hygiene item for the SUCCESS Pantry receive an extra door prize ticket. Additional bingo cards and refreshments will be available for sale. Designer Bag Bingo will be held in the gym of St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 1200 E. Churchville Road in Bel Air. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., bingo starts at 7:00pm. Masks are encouraged, hand sanitizer will be available for use. Tickets can be purchased individually or for a group; $220 for a table of eight.
All purses and bags to be awarded are new with tags, and one will be presented at the end of each round. Featured styles include designs by Vera Bradley, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Coach, among others. Players can increase their odds of winning by purchasing additional game cards, a “second chance” pack of 20 more cards, and special round cards. 50/50 raffle tickets and Chinese auction tickets for other prizes will also be sold at the door.
Nicki Biggs is the Executive Director of The SUCCESS Project and says, “We are so eager to bring Designer Bag Bingo back! Since this event launched in 2018 it has been warmly embraced by the community and enthusiasm has grown each year. After a two-year hiatus, we are truly excited to see everyone again, as well as generate much-needed support for our program. Funds raised will be used to sustain and enhance the services we offer to the public for free, such as our food pantry, the shuttle bus that provides local transport, our self-sufficiency classes and workshops, holiday activities and so much more. It’s a fun and affordable night out for guests that provides a lifeline of hope for those it benefits.”
