Dear Community,
Our next Designer Bag Bingo fundraiser is set for Thursday, May 10 at the Medford campus. These popular events have a sell-out history, so lock in your reservation for a fun time, chances to fabulous prizes, and two enviable 50-50 cash pots! We give away Coach, Kors and Spade prizes -- plus more than 20 door prizes! “Party of 8” reservations are guaranteed to a table by themselves; players who reserve 7 or fewer spots will find seats on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Thu., May 10 in the Medford cafeteria
- 6 pm Doors Open, 7 pm Games Begin
- $30 per person for Admission Plus 10 games
Proceeds benefit the Foundation’s mission to support the school’s students and staff with education-based technology and post-secondary scholarships.
To save your seat: Go to www.bcit.cc/foundation and click on “Designer Bag Bingo.” Use the Paypal button to charge reservations to a credit card, even if you don’t have a Paypal account. Or, call the Foundation at 609-267- 4226, Ext. 8335 to charge over the phone or to make arrangements for check or cash payment. Get in on the games! Does your company want 300 pairs of eyes on its logo? Sponsorships range from $100 to $1,000 and include event signage, website recognition and player seats.
This event is not affiliated with Coach Inc., Michael Kors or Kate Spade New York. BCIT Foundation will operate this event under state ID #329-5- 34741 and municipal permit BR-25.
Are you interested in making a difference in just a few hours a month? The BCIT Foundation Board of Trustees is always on the lookout for volunteers.

Trustees help with fundraising efforts and offer guidance for the policies and practices of this 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates separately from the school.
