About the event
Last year, we launched the Black Tie Bingo! Annual
Fundraiser, presented by MediSystem Pharmacy Limited, a unique and highly successful event that wowed
our city and raised an impressive $50,000 in support of palliative care and non-profit long-term care homes
in our community. This event was a big hit, with 300 guests enjoying the reception and dinner followed by
five (5) fun-filled, and sometimes quite intense, bingo games.
“What a wonderful, fun evening for two great charities!”
The second edition of the Black Tie Bingo! Annual Fundraiser will take
place on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at the Ottawa Conference and
Event Centre. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than
the first! Guests will gather for a reception and a sumptuous dinner
followed by seven (7) action-packed bingo games - two more than last
year. They will have the opportunity to win some spectacular prizes.
“Who thought BINGO could be so much fun!”
This is a great opportunity to enjoy a really fun evening where everyone is playing bingo and has a chance
to win spectacular prizes, all the while supporting two very important causes in our community. It’s like no
other event in our city. Don’t miss this outstanding sponsorship opportunity!
Making a difference in our community
The Eldercare Foundation of Ottawa (www.eldercarefoundaiton.ca) and the OutCare Foundation
(www.outcarefoundation.org) have joined forces to improve the quality of life of the residents in long-term
care and for individuals who need palliative care. Proceeds from the Black Tie Bingo! Annual Fundraiser
will help ensure that people are comfortable, well taken care of, and treated with dignity in their remaining
years.
Together, our foundations make an important difference in palliative care and long-term care support and
services available – for those who need it most. We invite you to join us by becoming a sponsor.
