Together, We Raised $1.2 Million!

On October 24, we got comfy and cozy at the 23rd annual PlayBingo presented by Alpha School. This year’s event brought together almost 1,300 guests for the ultimate pajama party — complete with feathered robes and fuzzy slippers. Together we raise $1.2 million in support of the Center for Child Protection!

We are deeply grateful to all our guests and sponsors who made this extraordinary impact possible. A special thank you to our emcees, the Friends of Christopher Guild, and the dedicated volunteers who continue to make PlayBingo one of Austin’s most anticipated traditions.

Thank you for helping build brighter futures for children in Travis County.
For questions, please email Katherine Franklin at kfranklin@centerforchildprotection.org.
