Collinsville Charities for Children - Glo Bingo
Other Event Type for Collinsville Charities for ChildrenOct 07, 2023 from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM
Our Glo-Bingo is 10/7/23 at The Collinsville American Legion and we would love to have many baskets at our silent auction. Any donation is welcome. Our 501 (c)(3) tax ID number is 45-2886798. Over 400+ attendees come and support our amazing charity so that we can continue to support the children in our community and surrounding communities.
Since 2008, Collinsville Charities for Children have assisted hundreds of children by providing them with quality shoes--one of the most basic necessities of life.
Every year, right before winter break, we meet with several hundred less fortunate students in the Unit 10 school district. Each student gets to pick out a new pair of shoes and socks. Then they get to meet with Santa before going back to school. Some of these children have never had a new pair of shoes...most wearing hand-me-downs and shoes unfitted to their size.
Currently, we raise enough money for students up to the 4th grade. Our goal is to be able to expand our program to help kids in older grades. Also, throughout the year we are able to assist families who are struggling or have suffered losses due to a fire or other tragedy.
Donations will never be too large or too small to help this wonderful charity!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
