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 hurdles.
- Experience life fully through accessible, inclusive activities.
When: Tuesday, September 17, 2024. 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: $40 (cash only).
Each $40 ticket reserves your general admission seat until 6 P.M. and includes a pack of three-card bingo sheets for 10 games.
Note: We will update this website and our Facebook page with the dates when you can buy tickets. To be notified before tickets go on sale, email Kimberly.McGuire@CreativeCare.org to be added to our pre-sale list.
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, 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—no checks, credit, or debit cards.
TableScapes
TableScapes is an annual fundraising event that celebrates creativity. Local designers create unique table designs that are truly a work of art. The event is a perfect metaphor for the people we support. Just like our table designs, everyone we serve has a unique personality and their own unique needs, unlike anyone else. CCRI has made our reputation on providing services that are customized for each individual, regardless of their needs. Similar to our table designers, our teams come up with creative ideas, which are often unconventional, with one goal in mind—to enhance people’s lives.
TableScapes 2024 will be held Thursday, November 14.
If you have questions about the event, contact Adam Schroeder at Adam.Schroeder@CreativeCare.org.
Tournament in the Tundra
CCRI has teamed up with Suite Shots for a one-of-a-kind event guaranteed to be the highlight of the winter! This nine event tournament features a variety of fun sports such as baseball, football, hockey, and, of course, golf. This is not only fun for all ages and skill levels, but supports a great cause!
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 2024 event raised more than $17,000 to help keep camp affordable for the folks we serve.
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.
