Fun Fair needs items for Bingo Prizes

House Cleaning? The Fun Fair Committee is looking for new items to be used for Bingo Prizes.

Small Items such as fast food toys, party favors, noise makers, promotional items, small books/coloring books, new items laying around the house that are not being used by your children would be perfect Bingo Prizes.

If you are unsure about a specific item or have items to donate – send an email or call.

Also if you have, or know someone that has a business that would like to donate a prize for the Raffle or Grand Prize drawing, we are looking for those items as well.

Anything from small to large electronics items to Gift Certificates would be tremendous and they will receive heaps of exposure and gratitude from the Irving School Family.
