Junior Women's League to Host 10th Annual Big Night Out: Bingo Night

Smithfield, N.C. – The Junior Women’s League of Smithfield will host its 10th annual Big Night Out: Bingo Night, proudly presented by Bingo Champion sponsor Coates Hearing Clinic, to be held at The Great Hall in the Tart Building/Paul A. Johnston Auditorium at Johnston Community College on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. This year’s Big Night Out marks a special milestone as the League celebrates a decade of making a positive difference in our local communities.

“This signature event, which raises critical funds for Johnston County initiatives, promises to be a fun evening filled with excitement, entertainment, and an opportunity to give back to the local community,” states Beth Sanders, Big Night Out Committee Co-Chair. Tickets are available for $50 each, which includes nine bingo cards for 20 thrilling rounds of bingo. Tickets can be purchased in advance at https://jwlsmithfield-bnobingo.cheddarup.com or at the door. However, due to limited availability, early purchase is highly recommended to guarantee your spot and avoid missing out on the chance to be part of this exciting community event. “The League has worked diligently to create a memorable experience, with a chance to win fantastic prizes, along with a 50/50 drawing that promises even more opportunities to walk away with a prize,” adds Sandi Gregory, Big Night Out Committee Co-Chair. 

For those looking to boost their chances of winning, an additional 6-on card is available for purchase for $20, giving players six extra opportunities to win per round. Plus, with a variety of concessions available, guests can enjoy delicious snacks and beverages throughout the night, making for a flavorful and enjoyable evening. Attendees are also encouraged to bring non-perishable food and personal care items to help the Junior Women’s League stock their Blessing Boxes across Johnston County, supporting those in need.

Proceeds from this year's Big Night Out: Bingo Night will help sustain impactful initiatives such as Student Scholarships, Professional Development Grants, and JWL’s Blessing Boxes. The funds will also help provide future Community Impact Grants for nonprofit organizations serving Johnston County. Additionally, fundraising events enable JWL to extend its outreach by offering quick community impact grants and providing "Coats for Kids" at Christmas for children enrolled in the Boys & Girls Club of Johnston County and the Partnership for Children of Johnston County. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we can continue funding these vital programs and initiatives that support the women, children, and families of Johnston County.

The Junior Women's League of Smithfield is also seeking sponsors for this event, helping to ensure the continued success of the League’s programs.  For more information about Big Night Out, or to inquire about tickets or sponsorships, please visit www.JWLSmithfield.com or email JWLSmithfield@gmail.com.
