GLOW Bingo that is. This is not your grandma's Bingo! HSHS St. Anthony's Foundation is excited to invite you to our Glow Bingo event set for Saturday, January 16, at the Effingham Knights of Columbus. This Bingo event features glow-in-the-dark hats, bingo card dabbers and lots of fun, music and games to go with it. There will be a 50/50 Bingo game, concessions, and raffles that evening as well.

Proceeds from this event will support the HSHS St. Anthony's Mother/Baby program and HSHS Hospice Southern Illinois. The Mother/Baby program offers a free visit to mom and baby in their home after delivery. A Registered Nurse visits as a complimentary extension of your hospital stay and checks your physical condition, talks about breast or bottle feeding, provides any advice on care for your newborn and answers any questions or concerns. The HSHS Hospice Southern Illinois service offers supportive and compassionate care that can bring peace, comfort, and dignity to a patient on those last days of life. The Glow Bingo event will support the HSHS Hospice Program, Everlasting Memories, which grants patients a special wish to experience with their loved ones, prior to passing.

Advanced tickets for this event are available for $25 per person. This includes 10 bingo cards, your glow dabber, and your glow hat. Additional Bingo cards are available for purchase at the event. Doors open at 5:30 p. m. and Bingo starts at 7 p. m. Have an awesome time for a great cause. Get your tickets today!
