Colonial Youth & Family Services is adding excitement to Wednesday evenings with a new Bingo night in Farmingville, launching February 7, 2024, at 1055 Portion Road. This event, introduced by President Pete Costelloe, is about entertainment and supporting essential community services.

Costelloe emphasizes the significance of these nights. "Our Bingo games are crucial fundraisers," he said. "The funds raised here directly benefit our childcare and family services, which are more important than ever in these challenging economic times."

The Bingo game offers various ways to win, featuring a grand $4,500 game, Progressive Rollover, Share the Wealth, Mini-Jackpot, and All-Nighters. Each game allows attendees to win cash prizes while contributing to a noble cause.

Costelloe highlighted the event's community aspect: "It's not only about winning; it's about coming together, having fun, and making a difference. We're creating a space where the community can support each other."

Colonial Youth & Family Services, a fixture in Suffolk County since 1970, provides counseling, childcare, summer camps, and emergency family assistance. These Bingo nights are set to become a key fundraising event, ensuring the continuity of these programs.

The community is invited to join these fun-filled evenings, combining the thrill of the game with the joy of giving back. Costelloe said, "Every number called, every Bingo shouted, is a step towards helping our community's youth and families."

The introduction of Bingo Night at Colonial Youth & Family Services promises to be more than just a game; it's an evening of community, fun, and support for a vital local cause.
