DALE CITY, Va. — All good things come to an end, and so is true for bingo at Hylton Boys and Girls Club in Dale City.
The popular Friday night attraction will end itâs run on Feb. 15. The final session will be called, appropriately, Achy Breaky Bingo.
âWeâve invited all of our old volunteers who gave a lot of their life and energy to making it a success,â said Prince William / Manassas Boys and Girls Clubs Director Glenn Vickers. âIt will be good to have them all back for this.â
The Clubs once relied on the funds generated from bingo night, but an increased need to serve the community in other ways, and an increased enrollment at the Boys and Girls Clubs has prompted the organization to find new ways of raising funds, said Vickers.
âAt one point, bingo made up six to eight percent of our annual funding, but now the clubs take into account for our formula for impact and have changed the way we fund our Clubs,â Vickers added.
Staff at the Boys and Girls Clubs will now focus winning more grant funding for the facilities.
The bingo sessions at the Hytlon Club begin at 6 p.m. and the players have their rituals, as many bring family photos and other family heirlooms to set up on tables to bring them luck.
Most games dole out prizes of $100, and a jackpot prize of $1,000 is also awarded at the bingo sessions.
