Gianna’s Place Celebrity Bingo Night: A Fun Evening for a Life-Changing Mission

Gianna’s Place is excited to invite our community to one of our most joyful and meaningful events of the year: Celebrity Bingo Night on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 5701 Venue (Northside Park Senior Recreational Center at 5701 NW 34th Blvd).

This special evening brings together friends, supporters, local businesses, families, and community leaders for a night of fun, prizes, food, and purpose. Guests will enjoy cocktail hour beginning at 6:00 p.m., with bingo starting at 7:00 p.m. Whether you come ready to win, ready to laugh, or simply ready to support a mission that matters, Celebrity Bingo Night promises to be a wonderful evening for a very important cause.

Proceeds from the event will support Gianna’s Place, a Gainesville nonprofit that provides housing, support, and resources for students facing unplanned pregnancies. Our mission is to help students continue their education while receiving the encouragement, stability, and practical help they need during a challenging season.

For the women we serve, housing and support can make the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling hopeful. Gianna’s Place exists to provide a safe place to land, a caring community, and the opportunity to keep moving forward.

A Night of Bingo, Prizes, and Community Fun

Celebrity Bingo Night is not your average bingo game. This event is designed to be lively, entertaining, and full of surprises. Guests will have the chance to win incredible prizes, enjoy great food, and spend time with people who care deeply about helping students in our community.

This year’s prizes include exciting items and experiences such as Gator baskets, gymnastics tickets, football tickets and parking, local experiences, gift items, and more. Prize donors featured on the event flyer include UF Gymnastics, Escapology, Mark Bostick Golf Course at UF, DB Racquet Club, Kendra Scott, Opus Coffee, Malgorzata’s Eclectic Gallery & Boutique, and other generous supporters.

Food will be provided by Texas Roadhouse, helping make the evening even more enjoyable for everyone attending.

Why This Event Matters

Gianna’s Place serves students who may be facing difficult decisions, financial stress, housing instability, and uncertainty about the future. Many of the women who come to us want to stay in school, continue working toward their goals, and build a stable future for themselves and their children.

Support from Celebrity Bingo Night helps provide practical resources such as safe housing, household needs, mentoring, community connections, and encouragement. Just as importantly, it helps remind each student that she is not alone.

When our community shows up for Gianna’s Place, we are showing these students that their dreams still matter. We are helping them believe that a hard season does not have to define their future. We are investing in women, children, education, and families for generations to come.

Join Us on June 27

We would love for you to be part of this special night.
