Bingo at the Beacon: BHPFA benefit night | Custer

Bingo players at tables in the Custer Beacon raise their hands and bingo cards beneath exposed ceiling beams and string lights.

Play ten rounds of bingo at the Custer Beacon while supporting Black Hills Parks & Forests Association. On this date, 20% of bingo card sales benefit BHPFA as part of the Beacon’s October 21 through December 9 beneficiary cycle. Those proceeds support BHPFA’s education and stewardship work with national parks, forests and grasslands in the Black Hills and Nebraska.

Cards and prizes

This is a cash-only game. Cards cost $1 each, or $10 for a pack of ten, one for each round. Daubers are provided. Games include cash prizes, a local-business gift card round, and mini and mega progressive jackpots.
