Description

Elbowbumpkid Inc's mission is to provide families impacted by Type 1 Diabetes with opportunities to thrive, learn and grow despite the diagnosis. Elbowbumpkid Inc raises critical funds that subsidize education events, local community events, a scholarship grant for high school seniors with Type 1, as well as partnerships for local initiatives that support the T1D community. Resources to attend social and educational events that are critical to families physical, mental health and well-being are crucial to the community. Being surrounded by peers and learning from other families is imperative to long-term success in managing the disease.

Our annual fundraiser is the perfect way to celebrate Mothers Day or just enjoy a fun night out! Bring your teens, moms, best buddies, work crew or come as you are! There is a different bag for each bingo game, the bag will be shown at the start of the game. There may be a few twists along the way, our fun begins at 6pm, please feel free to arrive at 5:40 to set up your spot/table. 

Groups of 8 or more will receive special incentives, including extra cards onsite for each person (cards are for specific games), extra door prize tickets and reserved seating. Tickets are not tax deductible but if you add an additional donation to your registration  through our birdies for charity fundraiser https://partnerhq.com/public/events/2024-travelers-championship-birdies-for-charity/organization_partnerships/3518 we will send you a tax receipt for that amount. 

 Thank you for supporting our small nonprofit with a big heart! All proceeds from the event benefit our scholarship fund for families impacted by Type 1 Diabetes.
