A bingo fundraiser will be held 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, at Culhane’s’ Irish Pub on Atlantic Beach to benefit Mission House and BEAM on Jacksonville Beach. The public is invited to attend this event coordinated by the CBV Cares Realtor Group of Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty on Ponte Vedra Beach.

Tickets to the event are $20 and includes two bingo cards and one drink ticket compliments of Culhane’s’ Irish Pub. Attendees may “pay to play” bingo via cash at the door.

Proceeds from raffle tickets will go toward funding other nonprofit organizations in the Beaches area supported by CBV Cares.
