Tuesday, January 25th was another successful night of Charity Bingo for Pasitos de Luz at Nacho Daddy! More than one hundred bingo players attended! It is wonderful how many people attend to Bingo to support this very worthy cause. We saw many new faces coming out to join the fun and lots of repeated bingo players. We could all feel the good energy and the great vibe!

In the end we raised $16,100 pesos making a total of $132,314.60 pesos. Thanks to your help we will for sure reach our goal of $200,000 pesos! Juan Carlos, our bingo caller, was excellent as always and a fun time was had by all the Bingo Players.

We were also joined by our Vallarta Bomberos, Jorge and Mario, thank you for your support! Our volunteers this week also did an amazing job with the selling of the raffle tickets and 50/50 tickets. Robin and Robin raised $3850 pesos for the raffle tickets and Carole raised $2100 pesos - great job girls!

Judy Shatney took home the evening’s raffle prize, a round trip and tour to Guadalajara for 3 days and 2 nights for two donated by Astrid Van Dam from Superior Tours Vallarta. Mary Jones won the 50/50 draw of $2100 pesos, all of which she generously donated back to Pasitos de Luz. Thank you Mary!

Muchas Felicidades to all of the winners, and don’t forget that the final Raffle draw will be held on our Charity Bingo for Pasitos de Luz wrap-up party in April at Nacho Daddy.
