Bingo Chicken BBQ — St. Al’s — Fundraiser (September 2024)

St. Aloysius Parish Bingo will be hosting a Krolick’s Chicken BBQ Fundraising Event on Sunday, September 8 (2024), in the St. Aloysius Parish Hall to raise funds for a new Bingo Machine!

St. Aloysius Bingo is an incredible fun night out and service to people in our surrounding communities, and it would not be possible without the talents and generous time commitments of the parishioners of our Cattaraugus Creek Catholic Community family of parishes.

We are in need of donated items to make the dinner and fundraising activities a success. We are asking for donations of beverages (soda, water, coffee) and desserts (cookies, brownies, cakes, pies) to complement the Krolick’s chicken dinner. We will also be having a Theme-Basket Raffle that Deb Gernatt is in charge of. Please contact her with any questions or to arrange a drop off. There will also be a Next-to-New Sale, and Gently-Used Book Sale in addition to various raffles at the fundraising event.

Beverage donations, prepared theme-baskets, and gently-used household, toy, game, and books may be dropped off at the St. Als Parish Hall on Wednesday evenings during August from 6:00 – 9:00 pm during Bingo and Saturday, September 7 (2024) from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the St. Aloysius Parish Hall. Dessert donations may be dropped off at the St. Aloysius Parish Hall on Sunday, September 8 (2024) from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Presale Krolick’s Chicken BBQ tickets ($16) will be available starting August 7th (2024) during Bingo on Wednesday evenings in the St. Aloysius Parish Hall, after Masses at the CCCC Family Parishes (dates to be determined), and at the St. Aloysius Parish Rectory.
