In 2021, we had to make the difficult decision to delay our Trivia Night for Charity event again! Our first BINGO event was so much fun that we decided to host another event on October 8, which raised $2,000. At the beginning of 2022, we committed to hosting our Trivia Night for Charity in April. This was our first event in person in two years, and it was so great to see everyone.
We were fortunate to partner with many of our returning local and corporate sponsors for gathering BINGO, Trivia, and Raffle Prizes. Here are the totals from both events:
$2,000 in BINGO Card Sales
$3,180 in entry Fees
$3,385 in Raffle Ticket Sales
$1,833 in Game Advantages
$12,765 in Client Donations
$15,000 WDS Matching Donation*
*Our donation promise was to match dollar-for-dollar for each monetary donation given towards Trivia Night. WDS set the original maximum matching contribution at $10,000. However, the monetary donations exceeded $10,000, so WDS increased its maximum matching donation to $15,000.
All proceeds of these events were sent directly to DCHS to bring comfort, care, and compassion to thousands of animals in need each year and support the many animals in our community.
Our Fifth Annual Charity Event will benefit DAiS Domestic Abuse Intervention Services. This event will be on April 28, 2023.
