Basket Bingo Fundraiser 2016

Family Bingo and Basket Auction

Our 7th Annual Park Forest Elementary Basket Bingo fundraiser will be held February 17, 2017 at 6:00 p.m.

This will be the ONLY fundraiser that the PTO will be doing this Spring! In order for us to continue funding the many field trips, supplies, and teacher requests we get each year, we need to have a successful event. Thank you in advance for your participation and/or donation. Your efforts and support make Park Forest Elementary a wonderful place for our children to learn!

Basket Bingo is a family-friendly fundraiser. Each classroom chooses a theme and donates items to create a basket filled with themed goodies that can be won at the bingo night. Kiddos will play for great prizes while parents can bid on some awesome baskets!
 
Doors and ticket sales open at 5:00 p.m. We will also be selling drinks, pizza, hotdogs, popcorn and baked goods!

If you have access to items for any of these themes, please feel free to send them in! Be on the lookout for a Sign-Up Genius sent from your teacher... That is a really easy way to fill the baskets up!

Have some baskets at home that you don’t need? We would love to re-purpose them for you! Please send them in with your child and we will put them to good use! This allows us to save money. . . so more can go directly to pay for the many programs and field trips that the PTO provides!
 
If you can't attend the event no worries, we make it easy to buy your chances... you do not need to be there to win! Download this ticket order form and send it in with your student.
