We’re still reflecting on the fun and generosity shared at this year’s Bags, Bingo & Badges fundraiser, hosted by the Palo Pinto Child Alliance Center at the historic Crazy Water Hotel. The sold-out event brought together a lively crowd of women armed with bingo cards, daubers, and high hopes—vying for designer handbags while supporting services for children affected by abuse and neglect in Palo Pinto County.

The evening featured participation from the Mineral Wells Police Department, Mineral Wells Fire/EMS, and the Palo Pinto County Sheriff’s Department, with local first responders proudly modeling each of the highly coveted prizes. Laughter, cheering, and friendly competition filled the ballroom as ten designer bags—including a special grand prize—were raffled off throughout the night.

We’re thrilled to finally share images from the event and grateful for the overwhelming support shown by our community. Every ticket, donation, and round of bingo helps the Children’s Alliance Center continue its mission of protecting and supporting the county’s most vulnerable youth.
