WestCMR Supports Clearwater Marine Aquarium at 2024 Designer Bag Bingo
On September 19th, 2024, WestCMR participated in one of their most anticipated philanthropy events of the year—Designer Bag Bingo, which supports the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Each year, the event surpasses expectations, and this year was no different, raising an impressive $41,400.
As the presenting sponsor for this year’s event, WestCMR was reserved two tables for its 20 guests and was granted an additional bingo card for all 16 rounds. In a generous gesture, WestCMR also purchased a third bingo card and a reverse raffle ticket for each attendee representing the WestCMR team.
As the evening kicked off, 400 guests filled the ballroom at the aquarium, eager for their chance to win one of the 16 stunning designer bags and table prizes. The event began with a splash, as two projectors showcased a behind-the-scenes video at the aquarium featuring CEO Randy Ware. In the video, Randy expressed his ongoing commitment to supporting the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and its mission, while also sharing insights about WestCMR, its community impact, and exciting news that the company is currently hiring!
After the video, the bingo rounds began, and the excitement in the room built as we moved through all 16 rounds. This year’s lineup of designer bags featured pieces from Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and several others. Throughout the night, nearly every WestCMR attendee found themselves standing at some point, just one square away from a win. In the end, we had two lucky winners at our tables: Shelley took home a Louis Vuitton bag, which was paired with a stunning flower arrangements as the table prize, while Maria won a Chanel bag, key chain and bracelet, and her table received Chanel toiletry bags!
WestCMR and our team are incredibly proud to support the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Not only do they continue to make remarkable progress in their mission of rescue, rehab, and release, but they also play a vital role in our community by offering an educational experience for children of all ages.
