Meet Our New Executive Director

And A Good Time Was Had By All!

Two hundred-thirty guests attended our 12th Annual Beach Blanket Bingo fundraiser on September 25, 2014. This event was once again graciously hosted by Florin Road Bingo. They generously donated the venue, hand-made decorations, non-alcoholic beverages, and staff time. Their support year after year helps make this event a success.

We were fortunate to have Hannibal's Catering and Events as well as The Bolt Bar return to provide delicious food and drinks.

Our many generous donors and sponsors contributed over $3,400 in prizes for our bingo games and raffles.

Local elected officials and their staff members also participated in the event. Many thanks to Larry Carr, SMUD Board of Directors - Ward 6; Jimmie Yee, Sacramento County Board of Supervisors - District 2; and Bonnie Pannell, former councilmember for Sacramento City Council - District 8.

A special thank you goes to Parkway Estates North Neighborhood Association (PENNA) for purchasing the most individual admission tickets. We are grateful for their continued support.

We also greatly appreciate the support of the Florin Historical Society, who joined us this year with both a table sponsorhip and a display sponsorship.

Net proceeds from this event go directly to our annual college scholarship program for graduating seniors of Luther Burbank High School, Sacramento. The fundraiser also helps provide grants to numerous schools and non-profits in the Florin Road community.

Guests also enjoyed a special performance by the very talented children's choir from the Phoenix Park Visual and Performing Arts Academy, under the direction of Ms. Kitty Griffin.

Our raffle featured a $400 cash prize and raised a record amount of money.
