2025 Bingo With Santa Wrap Up

What do you get when you mix festive pajamas, excited kids, lively bingo games, and a very special guest from the North Pole? A holiday celebration to remember! Drive and Thrive’s Bingo With Santa was a heartwarming success, bringing together community, laughter, and generosity—all in support of our mission to keep local families moving forward.

This year’s event welcomed more than 200 attendees, filling the room with holiday cheer from the moment doors opened. Families gathered around bingo cards, kids proudly shouted “BINGO!”, and Santa himself made magical appearances—posing for photos, sharing smiles, and spreading joy throughout the afternoon.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

This unforgettable event would not have been possible without the generous support of our Presenting Sponsors, Viscount Financial and FB Plumbing and Heating. Their commitment to our community helped turn a festive idea into a meaningful fundraiser that made a real impact. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and belief in Drive and Thrive’s mission.

Fun Festive and Full of Heart

From kid-friendly bingo prizes and raffle baskets to holiday treats and activities, Bingo With Santa was designed to be a joyful experience for the whole family. The room buzzed with laughter, friendly competition, and the kind of togetherness that defines the holiday season.

But beyond the fun and festivities, the heart of the event was clear: supporting families who rely on transportation to access work, healthcare, school, and stability.

Making an Impact—Together

Thanks to the generosity of our attendees, sponsors, and supporters, Bingo With Santa raised an incredible $8,500 for Drive and Thrive programs. These funds will directly support:

• Critical vehicle repairs

• Fuel assistance

• Transportation solutions that help individuals and families overcome barriers and protect their independence

Every bingo card played and every raffle ticket purchased helped fuel opportunity for neighbors who need reliable transportation to thrive.

Community Is What Makes the Season Bright

One of the most special parts of Bingo With Santa is seeing our mission come to life—families coming together, volunteers lending a hand, and supporters showing up with open hearts. Events like this remind us that when a community moves with kindness, real change happens.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and cheered on our mission—thank you. Your support ensures that Drive and Thrive can continue helping families stay on the road and move toward a brighter future.

From all of us at Drive and Thrive, we wish you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, generosity, and a little extra magic. We can’t wait to see you next year for more bingo, more smiles, and more impact!

Give today to drive change.
