The hall at American Legion Post 74 was buzzing with excitement Thursday evening, November 6, as more than 200 enthusiastic community members gathered for Helen Newberry Joy Hospital & Healthcare Center’s first-ever Purse Bingo event. The fundraiser, created to support the residents of Golden Leaves Living Center, sold out quickly and exceeded expectations in turnout and community impact.
Guests enjoyed an energetic night of bingo with the chance to win a variety of designer handbags from brands such as Coach, Kate Spade, and Michael Kors. In addition to bingo rounds, attendees participated in giveaways and a silent auction, offering even more opportunities to take home a coveted purse while supporting a meaningful cause.
Thanks to the generosity and spirit of the community, the event raised over $10,000. All proceeds will directly benefit the residents of Golden Leaves Living Center, helping enhance quality of life through programming, activities, and resident-centered improvements.
“We are overwhelmed by the community’s support for this first-time event,” said Allie Johnson, Marketing Coordinator for the hospital. “The turnout and enthusiasm reflect the compassion our community has for our residents, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make this night such a success.”
Helen Newberry Joy Hospital & Healthcare Center extends its sincere thanks to attendees, volunteers, donors, and the American Legion Post 74 for making the evening possible.
