Fundraising
Bingos and casinos are our biggest fundraisers, bringing in over $125,000 to support coaching, facilities, and equipment. We host about 15 bingos a year at Parkway Bingo Hall and a casino every other year. Since workers must be 18+, we rely on parents and members to step up and help! ERC members commit to assisting or finding someone to cover their shift—check the registration page for more details.
