Community Events & Fundraisers

CCRI Designer Purse Bingo

Bingo is one of our clients’ favorite life enrichment activities at CCRI, so we’re holding designer purse bingo fundraisers in honor of—and to help support—the folks we serve.

Money raised will help people with disabilities:

• Live more independently.
• Build life skills to reach their full potential.
• Find and maintain housing.
• Overcome mental health and behavioral challenges.
• Experience life fully through accessible, inclusive activities.

When: Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Bingo starts promptly at 6 P.M., so get there early to sign in, get your bingo cards, and order some delicious food and drinks!

Where: Vic’s Bar & Grill, 1608 Main Ave. SE, Moorhead.

Tickets & Pricing:.

• Online, reserved tickets are $20 and include your choice of a dinner basket (burger, chicken strip, shrimp, boneless wing, or veggie burger) or appetizer (cheese curds, corn dog bites, fried green beans, fried mushrooms, or onion rings). You will still need to buy your pack of three-card bingo sheets for 10 games for $40 (cash only) when you arrive. Buy reserved tickets now at this link: Coming Soon.
• General admission tickets will be available at Vic’s for $40 (cash only). This ticket reserves a general admission seat until 6 P.M. (which will be assigned to you when you arrive) and includes your pack of three-card bingo sheets for 10 games.

As long as we don’t sell out beforehand, we plan to sell general admission tickets in person at Vic’s:

• Tuesday, April 15, 4–6 P.M.
• Wednesday, April 16, 4–6 P.M.

If we sell out before these dates, we will make an announcement on our Facebook page. More dates will be added as needed and will be announced on our Facebook page.

Additional one-card bingo sheets will be available for $2 each.

Blackout bingo is not included in the pack and will be available for $5 for a one-card bingo sheet.

Bingo tickets, bingo cards, and raffle tickets must be paid for in cash only, in accordance with Minnesota state gambling regulations.

Prizes: Designer purses by Kate Spade, Coach, Tory Burch, and Michael Kors will be awarded as bingo prizes.

In the event of multiple bingo winners, no one will receive the purse, in accordance with Minnesota state law, and the purse will be raffled off. Raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each. The bingo winners will each get to choose a CCRI crossbody fanny pack containing surprise gift cards from local business worth $50.

Miscellaneous:

Food and drinks can be purchased at Vic’s. Check out their amazing apps, burger baskets, and drinks! Plus, Vic’s is donating 10% of all food and drink sales during the purse bingo fundraiser to CCRI!

Customized CCRI Dazzle Daubers are available for $1. You can use your own, but you must use a bingo dauber to mark your card.

Players must be at least 18 years old.

Cash only for bingo and raffles—no checks, credit, or debit cards.

Post-Prom Fundraising Party

Thursday, October 9, 2025 | 6:30–9:30 P.M. | Avalon Events Center, Fargo.

In 2025, we’re switching gears and replacing our TableScapes fundraiser with a post-prom fundraising party. Held the day after CCRI prom in the same amazingly decorated space, you’ll get to experience the magic of our prom with a night of fun, casino-style games, appetizers, and raising funds to help the people we support live full, independent lives.

FM Crusaders Bike Show Auctions

Since 2009, the FM Crusaders Motorcycle Club has been raising money through their annual Bike Show’s silent and live auctions to support Camp HERO—CCRI’s three-day summer camp that gives people with disabilities the chance to experience the great outdoors in an inclusive, accessible environment.

Their 2025 event raised nearly $13,000 to help keep camp affordable for the folks we support!

Camp HERO (named for the goal of Helping Everyone Remove Obstacles) offers boating, fishing, swimming, crafts, and many more individualized activities. Outside of Camp HERO, these activities are often denied to those with disabilities because of the time and cost involved in making it a safe, accessible experience.

CCRI provides staff trained to work with individuals with disabilities as well as medical personnel to ensure camp is a safe, healthy experience for everyone. Because of the expense involved, camp fees only cover part of the costs. Donations—such as the support the Crusaders provide—help CCRI offset those costs so people of all income levels can enjoy camp.
