All About BingoBash!
Bingo BASH is a family-friendy all-day event designed to support our local community. Each year, three non-profits working in the areas of food scarcity, family and children’s services or the prevention of human trafficking are selected as the annual recipients. Since 2022, more than $100,000 has been donated from this one-day event. It’s a fun day and a wonderful cause. Please join us!
Where it started…
Service Above Self
Members of the Rotary Club of Des Moines AM take the club’s motto to heart, sponsoring, hosting and supporting many service projects throughout the year. Still, we knew launching a large community-focused event could help us do even more.
Our Foundation committee went to work, investigating options, surveying the community, and vetting ideas. BingoBASH was born! Then, the BingoBASH committee set out to learn how to put on a top-level bingo event.
Iowa State Fairgrounds
Elwell Family Food Center
We are grateful to host BingoBASH at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Located on the east side of Des Moines, the Fairgrounds is designed for our audience that comes from every corner of the metro and beyond. The Elwell Family Food Center offers the ability to have the latest technology, food service and free parking nearby.
Looking ahead
BingoBASH has been a wonderful experience for our club and we’re proud of the funds we’ve been able to provide to support our community.
