Explaining the significance of the event, Mark Ritchie said:
“The Bingo Music Bonanza was originally created in loving memory of my late father, and last year raised vital funds for Marie Curie.
“Due to its incredible success, we have decided to bring it back once again — this time to celebrate the lives of Lydia and Naomi while raising much-needed funds for Air Ambulance Northern Ireland.”
Organisers say the night will focus not only on fundraising, but also on remembrance, community and celebration, uniting people through music while supporting a lifesaving charity.
