We are a non-profit organization in Brandon, Florida in the Tampa Bay area. Our mission is to improve our community by volunteering time and financial resources through programs and fundraising that support many local groups and charities in the Brandon area. A few of our recent projects include making masks for local pediatric ER units, in-patient hospice residents, the local VA hospital patients, essential workers, and firefighters attending of the funeral of a local fallen firefighter; providing scholarship opportunities to local high school students who are active volunteers; holding a fun-day for special needs residents at a local adult assisted living home; and providing Christmas presents for children who would likely not otherwise receive any gifts.
Our Bingo event is three games of bingo to raise funds to support our mission.
To pay electronically, purchase your Bingo ticket on https://gfwcbrandonjuniors.org/ . A ticket is needed to play and bingo cards are $10 per card. Check your email inbox and your junk folder. Your bingo card(s) will be emailed to you by Saturday, April at Noon. If you do not see the email from us, please contact us at [email protected]. Cards can be purchased until 4 PM Saturday night.
Virtual Bingo Parties
You are encouraged to gather friends, practice social distancing if you prefer, and have a Bingo party at your location. One person can log in to Zoom, turn the volume up and all can have a good time.
Prior to the Game
To participate you must be 18 years or older and live in a state that allows bingo.
Zoom account—the event will be played and viewed on Zoom. Prior to the beginning of the game, you will need to set up a free Zoom account, if you don’t already have one. After your ticket is purchased, you will receive an email with instructions on how to enter the BJWC Virtual Bingo event on Zoom. If you are new to Zoom, once you receive the email, you can click the link provided to test entering the meeting. The Zoom meeting is limited to 100 people. Only the email addresses provided when purchasing bingo cards will be allowed to enter the Zoom meeting. If you are buying cards for other people, provide their email addresses instead of forwarding your Zoom link to them.
Your card—Click the link to access your bingo card(s) when you receive the email with your link. You have the option of printing your card(s) or following the online instructions on how to use your card(s) online. If using your cards online, you will need to spilt your computer screen between the Zoom meeting and your bingo card. If using the online card option, practice marking and resetting the numbers. If printing and using a dabber, print three copies of each card. If printing and using a coin or object to cover the numbers called, you can use the same card for all games.
Playing the Game
The Game—When you have one number remaining to obtain bingo, you must use the chat feature to announce you have one number left and what that number is. For example, “Need B5”. The game will slightly slow down and we will switch between the numbers called and the pattern screens.
When you obtain bingo, you must announce in the chat feature that you have bingo and the unique number that is on your card. For example, “Bingo card 112.” Do NOT remove the markers on your card when bingo is called. The numbers called will be verified with the bingo card that called bingo. If it is determined that bingo is not on the card claiming bingo, the game will continue where it left off. If bingo is verified, that game is over and you can clear your card.
Bingo board view—at any time during the game you can use the chat feature to request to view the numbers called. The game will pause for a moment so everyone can check the numbers called with their card.
Winners— Each game may have a different set of designer handbags to choose from as the prize. When a player is verified as having bingo, they will select one prize from the remaining items for that game. If you live in the Brandon, Florida area, your prize will be delivered to you or you can pick it up. If you are outside of the area, your prize will be mailed to you in the continental US via UPS with tracking.
Tie—In the event of a tie, numbers will continue to be selected for only the winning cards that tied. The first person who has a number called on a winning bingo card will have first selection of the available prizes. If more are in the tie pool, numbers will continue to be drawn to determine the order of prize selection.
During the Game
Disconnection—if the connection is lost, please do not panic. If it is on our end, we will get the room up as quickly as we can. You may need to reconnect to the room the same way you initially entered. If connection is lost on your end, please re-enter the room as quickly as you can. When you return, use the chat feature to let us know there was an interruption and ask to view the board so you can catch up on any numbers called during your absence.
Chatting—the chat feature will be how you communicate with us. When the games begin all participants will be muted and all communication will be through the chat. You need to use chat to signal when you have one number remaining to obtain bingo and what the number is. If you win, you need to use chat to call bingo and identify your card’s number. We encourage you to engage in friendly chatting with the other players during the game and during the pauses. You can also share via chat how you found our virtual bingo game.
Refund policy
A refund can be requested from the organizer.
