NHS Christmas Bingo 2017

On Saturday, December 2nd, ISPS NHS chapter hosted its Annual Christmas Bingo, which was patronized by over 230 eager players. They all had an obvious reason to win, knowing that there were over $40,000 in prizes to be won. NHS received donations from 40 plus generous sponsors. Prizes included luxury gourmet hampers, a large screen TV and speakers, hotel stays, dinner vouchers and shopping sprees, to name a few. Host Tony Harford had the crowd amused with his anecdotes and teacher Mr. Leiter eased the tension with some light hearted trivia questions in the lead up to the big blackout prize.

Those needing sustenance enjoyed pizza, as well as christmas fare of ham and hops, pastelles, corn soup and festive cake.

This event was a huge success, not just for NHS who raised more than our prizes’ monetary worth, but for the 100 patrons who walked away with an amazing win. Our ‘friends and family’ charity bingo proceeds will go a long way in improving the lives of those who will benefit from our efforts this year. We are committed to alleviating the plight of children at risk and have been throwing our support to children within the community. Last year’s bingo formed part of a $30,000 donation that our NHS chapter was able to make to a neighbouring primary school in need of technological advancement.

We were thrilled to see so many teachers and staff members among the parents and students who were caught up in the excitement. This year’s massively successful bingo would not have been possible if it weren’t for the devoted executives who went beyond the call of duty and our members who labored away for almost 4 months before the event. We remain appreciative of the support of our Director, Advisor and our hard working maintenance personnel, behind the scenes.

…..See you next year!
