The Awg 5,000 top bingo prize for a full card was split two ways with Awg 2,500 for Shirley and Awg 2,500 for Jim, both island visitors staying at the Quality apartments.
Bingo was organized by Friends of the Handicapped on Thursday at the Renaissance Conference Center. Ten games were featured with prizes ranging from Awg 250 to Awg 750 for each game. The last game offered Awg 5,000.
Friends of the Handicapped, an organization made up of tourists wintering in Aruba at the low rise hotels has been collecting funds for Aruba’s handicapped residents since 1987, and has raised to date over US$1,000,000.00
The funds are donated to various organizations caring for the socially, physically and mentally handicapped residents of Aruba, with 100% of the proceeds given back each year at the end of the winter season.
FHO thanks the local community for the ongoing support. Donation will be given to charity organizations in March.
