Play bingo, help fight cancer

Chicago Thunder Football Club hosts bingo at 7 p.m. every Wednesday at the American Legion Hall, 11712 Coral St., Huntley in an effort to raise funds for Friends of Patsy, a non-for-profit charity, whose goal is to assist families affected by Ewing's Sarcoma, a pediatric cancer. Friends of Patsy organization is composed mostly of residents of the Huntley community who recognized the camaraderie of the community and thought a weekly night of Bingo would also be an asset as an added community event.

Being a new bingo enterprise, we have experimented with the program in effort to find the right recipe to ensure that players are rewarded as well as being able to assist these families.

The buy-in has been lowered to $25 per person which enables you to play all games all night. Additional specials are $2 and $3. Lucky 7 starts the night as the Early Bird followed by the popular Odd/Even Bullseye game. Four Good Neighbor games reward the person to the left or right of the game winner with free specials for that same session. There are now two Progressive Jackpot games, including Wild Double Powerburst, that are $300+ jackpots and increase weekly. And don't forget the monthly $1,100+ game.

Frequent players are rewarded with free cards for every week they play and can accumulatively earn two free cards for every week in attendance for the big night.

Every month there are beautiful gift basket raffles that the players love. Pull tabs are available all night, also. Late nite special is usually Dual Dab. Look for our new Myspace Web site next month.
