Back by popular demand – our annual Spaghetti Bingo fundraiser – now with two dates! Join us as we celebrate 10 years of the fun-filled event!
Due to the overwhelming popularity of this event and the difficulty people have experienced getting tickets the last couple years we are now offering two Spaghetti Bingo dates – March 7 and March 14.
Get your tickets now and join us for a family-friendly night of fun at our 10th annual Spaghetti Bingo fundraiser! Ticket prices include all-you-can-eat spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, dessert, soft drinks and 6 bingo cards. Additional bingo cards, raffle tickets, and beer and wine will be available for purchase and there will be many great items on the silent auction. Even with two dates we do expect Spaghetti Bingo will sell out so get your tickets now before it’s too late!

A small team is currently in Guanica, Puerto Rico, assisting the many dogs and cats that have been impacted by the recent earthquakes. “Our hearts are breaking for our rescue volunteers, staff and partners in Guanica. Many have lost their homes and on top of that stress, are worried about the dogs and cats in the streets that they care for,” says Sue Bell, Homeward Trails Executive Director. We are prepping to get 37 dogs off the island tomorrow, January 15. Our generous donors have covered the cost of this flight and land transport (and ANOTHER one on the 24th)….now we just need a bit more for the medical needs to get them on the plane. Please consider making a donation to our GuaniCARES program and follow our team on Facebook for real time updates. Thank you!
