Message from Black Tie Bingo Chair Each year Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation, through the Black Tie Bingo committee, strives to host an amazing evening of glitz, glamour and bingo fun. This year’s event was another rousing success!

I want to thank our title sponsor, VWAG, for their enduring support of the Black Tie Bingo over the past 19 years. Gratitude also goes to PotashCorp, who sponsored the well-received VIP Champagne Reception and continue to be one of our community’s brightest stars.

Thanks also go out to the many sponsors who supported the bingo through cash donations, gifts in kinds or by donating prizes. Their contributions help to make the event truly successful and exciting.

I also want to thank the organizing committee, our volunteer board of directors, and the foundation staff for all of their amazing efforts. Each of these people went the extra mile to make this event successful, and to help raise a tremendous amount of money for the Foundation.

And finally, to all of those who attended, thank you. Your support makes the Black Tie Bingo one of the most fun events of the year. Whether or not you won a bingo prize, consider yourself a winner.

See photos from this year’s event or stay in touch with announcements about Black Tie Bingo 2016, by visiting the events section at SaskatoonCityHospitalFoundation.com. See you next year!

BLACK TIE B I N G O On behalf of Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation, I extend sincere thanks to Bart Hunter and the organizing committee who made the 2015 Black Tie Bingo a rousing success. The bingo was sold out weeks ahead of schedule. It was a very fun event with some very exciting prizes.

For those who attended or sponsored the Black Tie Bingo, thank you for supporting Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation. The Foundation works to connect donors with fundraising opportunities that enrich health care in Saskatoon City Hospital. The Bingo is definitely an event where we like to mix fun with fundraising.

By supporting Black Tie Bingo you’re giving hope to people with MS. Funds will benefit the creation of an MS Clinical Research Chair in Saskatchewan. The Chair will inspire and coordinate research across the province into causes and treatments for MS with the ultimate goal of finding a cure.

You’re also providing the best for the people who care through the Foundation’s Equip for Excellence campaign. Equip for Excellence is a multi-million dollar campaign to improve every area of the hospital. By ensuring staff have the best equipment, technology and resources, you’re guaranteeing the highest standard of care for patients.

If you had fun at the bingo, be sure to check out other Foundation events like Bust a Move (April 18), Ouzopalooza (May 22), Golfun (May 26) and the Festival of Trees Gala (November 21). For more information or to donate online, visit SaskatoonCityHospitalFoundation.com.
