The UDS Foundation will hold a bingo event to support its service dog program on Sunday, March 9, at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. Doors will open at noon, and the first game will start at 1 p.m.

Attendees age 18 and older may participate in 20 rounds of bingo for prizes and, for an additional cost, five special bingo games with cash prizes. The event will also include door prizes and giveaway drawings. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Early ticket purchase is encouraged. To purchase tickets in advance for a discounted fee, visit https://udservices.org/bingo25/. Tickets will also be available at the door for full price.

This year, UDSF is celebrating 60 years of service, including the 25th anniversary of its service dog program. All proceeds of the bingo event will help to support UDS' program training service dogs and partnering them with people who have a mobility disability, autism, or post-traumatic stress disorder to help them be more independent and live fuller lives. The dogs help perform basic daily tasks such as closing doors, turning off lights, and retrieving, but they are also affectionate and loving friends.
