Are you ready to swap your walking boots for a bingo dauber: at least for one night?

Mark your calendars, because something big is happening in our community. On Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM, the Cancer Eradicators are hosting our signature Bags and Bingo benefit event at Tomball Regional Health Foundation, 13302 Medical Complex Drive, Tomball, TX 77375. This isn't just your grandmother's bingo night (though she’s definitely invited!). This is a high-energy, high-impact evening designed to support the mission of the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center BootWalk, with net proceeds from the event—after expenses are paid—going to UT MD Anderson Cancer Center/BootWalk support.

And now there’s even more momentum to celebrate: our website is live at https://the-cancer-eradicators-foundation.marblism.me, making it easier than ever for our community to rally around this event, buy tickets, and explore sponsorship opportunities.

At Cancer Eradicators, we live by a simple truth: Cancer picked the WRONG TEAM. We are a community of fighters, survivors, and supporters who believe that together, we can end cancer. Whether we are pounding the pavement in our favorite leather boots or shouting "BINGO!" in a room full of friends, our mission remains the same: WE WALK. WE FIGHT. WE WIN.

If you’ve been looking for a way to give back that feels more like a party than a chore, here are the top five reasons why our Bags and Bingo night is the ultimate way to support cancer research this year.

1. You Can Win Amazing Prize Bags for All Kinds of Winners

Let’s talk about the "Bags" part of Bags and Bingo. This event is for men and women, and every single round of bingo gives you a chance to walk home with a fun prize bag while supporting a mission that truly matters.

Our prize lineup is designed to offer variety, including product-themed bags, men’s items, and unique ladies’ bags. It’s the ultimate "treat yourself" moment with heart behind it. When you win one of these bags, you’re not just taking home a prize: you’re carrying a symbol of your support for life-saving research. We are also currently seeking in-kind bag donations, so if you or your business would like to contribute a bag for the event, this is a meaningful way to make a direct impact.

2. The Event Helps Fund the Mission

One of the most powerful reasons to join us for Bags and Bingo is the transparency and impact of your contribution. This event is part of our effort to support MD Anderson’s mission to end cancer, and the net proceeds from Bags and Bingo—after event expenses are paid—go to UT MD Anderson Cancer Center/BootWalk support.

That means your participation helps make this fundraiser possible, while the event’s proceeds help strengthen support for the mission behind BootWalk, including:

  • Groundbreaking Research: Funding the Moon Shots Program®, which aims to rapidly reduce cancer deaths.
  • Patient Support Services: Providing integrative medicine and social work to help families navigate their journey.
  • Prevention and Education: Spreading the word on how to stop cancer before it starts.

When we say we are fighting to end cancer, we mean it. Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and bag donated helps move this event forward and grow its impact.

3. It’s a Night of High-Energy Community Connection

Cancer can be a lonely and heavy topic, but at Cancer Eradicators, we choose to fight with joy and community. The room will be buzzing with energy, music, and laughter. It’s a chance to meet your neighbors, share stories, and realize that you are part of a massive, unstoppable team. We believe that community connection is one of the strongest weapons we have.

This event is also gaining real traction thanks to our growing sponsor community. Samuel Family Cardiology is our confirmed Presenting Sponsor, and Loud Mouth Entertainment, Bella Rosa, and Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue are confirmed $250 Game Sponsors. Right now, 4 Game Sponsor spots remain, which means there is still a great opportunity for local businesses and supporters to step in and stand with us.

Whether you come with a group or show up solo, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve found your tribe. Because remember: Cancer picked the WRONG TEAM.

4. You’re Supporting the Famous BootWalk Tradition

Our Bags and Bingo event is a key part of our journey toward the official UT MD Anderson Cancer BootWalk. The BootWalk is a legendary 1.2-mile non-competitive walk where participants wear their favorite boots: from cowboy boots to combat boots: to symbolize "kicking cancer to the curb."

By attending our bingo night, you are helping the Cancer Eradicators reach our team goal. The event’s net proceeds—after expenses are paid—go to UT MD Anderson Cancer Center/BootWalk support, showing MD Anderson the power of our local community. We even have a "Fundraising Roadmap to Success" that guides us through these events to ensure we maximize our impact. Every bingo card played is a step toward our goal on that roadmap!

5. It’s an Empowering Way to Make a Difference

There is something incredibly empowering about taking action. Sometimes, when we think about the scale of cancer, it can feel overwhelming. You might ask, "What can I really do?"

The answer is: You can show up. You can play a game. You can wear your purple laces. You can be the reason a researcher has the funding they need for one more hour of lab work.

Bags and Bingo turns a "big" problem into a fun, manageable, and highly effective evening of action. It gives everyone a seat at the table in the fight against cancer. It’s casual, it’s fun, and it’s deeply meaningful. You’ll leave at 9:30 PM with a smile on your face (and maybe a great prize bag to take home), knowing that you’ve done something real to help others.
