From October 2022 to May 2023, the group raised $91,000 and in the more recent season – from September 2023 to May 2024 – the group is anticipating they'll tally up an even higher amount  Counting both seasons, it is likely the Lions will be close to or surpass $200,000 in total fundraising dollars from TV BINGO since it launched in late 2022. “It's been so incredible to be able to raise that much money in that amount of time,” said Yasmine Slater, Orangeville Lions Club member.
