In Davis, the second Sunday of the month means one thing: BINGO at Odd Fellows Hall.
For as little as $12, players can sit with friends or meet new people all while helping a local organization.
“Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, much like other events hosted by the Davis Odd Fellows throughout the year, Second Sunday BINGO connects participants with local causes,” BINGO co-chair Matthew Elliott told The Dirt. “Each month, BINGO focuses on a single organization, such as Paul’s Place, Foster & Kinship services, or Team Davis. We invite a charity representative to speak to both new and familiar players regarding local causes.”
More than $11,000 was raised for local organizations in 2023, Elliot said. Since introducing Second Sunday BINGO 15 years ago, Odd Fellows has raised more than $110,000.
