Please check for fundraising events posted on the CAMPA website: campa.ca.

BINGO'S

Working at CAMPA bingos is a great individual fundraiser that benefits every Campbell Music family directly.  Please contact the CAMPA Bingo Coordinator, Maureen Pennington, at maupennington@gmail.com if you are interested in earning money at upcoming bingos!  Each person earns $50 toward their TRP fundraising account. Therefore, if you have 4 people working one bingo for you, you can earn $200 toward your fundraising account in one bingo evening!  If you currently have funds in your family’s TRP account, you will have received a statement during September 2017.  All bingos are held at Centennial Bingo (2311 2nd Avenue) and the upcoming bingo dates are listed below.  Additional dates will become available throughout the year.
