Thank you | 80th anniversary Bus Bingo

We are so incredibly grateful to all the generous businesses, local community and school families who supported our 80s glitz and glam bus bingo fundraising event on the weekend!

The generous donations have helped us to create a fantastic lineup of bingo, raffle and auction prizes and experiences, and your support means the world to our school community. We had a full house of guests in their 80s outfits (sequins, neon, glitter, wigs, side pony tails and more!) enjoying a night of music bingo, pizza, grazing platters and drinks.

All your generosity has made a real difference. Preliminary numbers for the fundraising is $4,100 raised! Every dollar goes towards keeping the Pukekohe East School Bus running in it’s 80th year.

Thank you for helping us make this event a success—we couldn’t do it without you! 💛🚌🎉
