CROOKED LAKE — The Rho Chapter of Psi Iota Xi sorority held its Fifth Purse Bingo Fundraiser on Oct. 5 at the Steuben County Event Center.
The event was sold out several months ahead of time, and guests enjoyed 20 designer purse Bingo prizes, 30 raffle items, a special mystery purse raffle, a 50-50 raffle and additional surprise purse gifts.
New to the event this year was the option to buy eight tickets and reserve a table so that a group of friends could enjoy the time together.
Guests brought canned goods that were donated to the Blessing Boxes at Fremont Methodist Church, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and Holy Family Episcopal Church in Angola.
Many generous community businesses and individuals donated prizes, raffle items, food and supplies that helped ensure the success of the event.
Psi Iota Xi Sorority, Rho Chapter, extends gratitude to all supporters, including Steuben County Tourism Bureau, 5 Lakes Coffee, Acres Away Winery Ashley, Applebee’s, Bent Fork on the Circle, Buck Lake Grill, Caruso’s Restaurant, Creative Cuts & Colors, DQ Grill and Chill, First Federal Savings Bank of Angola, Farmers State Bank, Lawnscape, Meijer, Maurices Outlet Mall, Moe’s Restaurant, Out of the Woods Florist, Profed Federal Credit Union, Sofia’s Kitchen, Sutton’s Deli, The Printing Place, Tom’s Donuts, Walmart and YMCA of Steuben County.
The money raised at this event supports local projects that improve the lives of Steuben County residents of all ages, particularly in the areas of speech and hearing, art, literature and music.
Recent beneficiaries include Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Children’s Oral Healthcare, Fremont Schools Music departments, Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County, HEAR Indiana and Compassion Pregnancy Center.
Next year’s Purse Bingo Event will be held on Oct. 4, 2026. Follow “Psi Iota Xi Alpha Rho Chapter” on Facebook for information about ticket sales, as they sell very quickly.
