celebrating 10 years
of giving hope

thank you for 10 years!

What a week! From October 28 through November 1, you packed our hall to celebrate ten years of bingo with a purpose, and together we crossed a milestone we have been chasing since day one: more than $1 million given to support kids right here in the Sioux Empire.

That number is yours. Every card, every dauber, every pull tab and every night out with friends helped put it there. Thank you for showing up, for bringing your crew, and for proving once again that a fun night of bingo can do a whole lot of good.

you made it a week to remember!

Ten years ago, we set out to make every game at our hall on Burnside count for local kids. This anniversary week showed just how far that idea has come, and it is all because of you.

On Thursday night, over sweets and treats from Taste of Eastern Europe, we presented more than $40,000 to six local organizations that support children and families. Those checks carried our ten year giving past $1 million, a milestone that belongs to every player who has ever taken a seat in our hall.

Thank you to:

• Our players, the regulars who have been with us for years and the first timers who joined the party this week
• Our staff, who worked every session, called every number and made sure everyone felt at home
• Our partners and event supporters, including Taste of Eastern Europe, Boo T’s & Custom Prints, and A Touch from Above
• The six organizations we were honored to support during our celebration: Make A Wish South Dakota & Montana, Sioux Falls Family YMCA, The Foster Network, A Hand 2 Hold, HorsePower, and Special Olympics South Dakota’s Sioux Falls Bulldogs
• Our local media friends who helped spread the word
• Everyone who shared a post, brought a friend or wore their anniversary tee around town

But, just because anniversary week is over, but the games keep going, and so does the giving. Come play with us any Wednesday through Sunday, and every card you buy keeps helping kids in our community.

historical photos

Ten years of bingo means ten years of memories, and we’ve been digging through the archives. Take a trip down memory lane with photos from our first decade. You’ll see the Family Day snaps, holiday parties, Wine & Purse Bingo, and great nonprofit check presentations along the way.

Here’s just a couple of photos that tell the story of a community that keeps showing up. Every face in them helped turn a night of bingo into support for local kids, one game at a time. Whether you’ve been coming since the Burnside days or played your first card this year, you’re part of this story too.

Thank you! To each and every one of you!
