Fundraisers & Charities
Door-pass ticketing, volunteers as cashiers, and a treasurer-ready report the same night.
One benefit night, two ways
The same benefit night, run the way a volunteer committee always has, and the way it runs on the platform.
| Before | With RojoBingo | |
|---|---|---|
| Selling admission | A cash box and a hand-written guest list at the door | QR tickets printed in a batch, buyer names already on them, sold as a package or by credit |
| Running the game | A caller with a script and a volunteer keeping score by hand | Auto-called at your pace, with a caller option if your group would rather run it by hand |
| Cashiering volunteers | Training a volunteer on a register they'll use once a year | The cashier role runs on any phone they already carry — no register to buy |
| Supporters who can't attend | Missing out entirely | Play from home on the same ticket, with LiveStream putting your caller on camera |
| Reporting to the board | Reconciling a cash box the next morning | A per-cashier report and a CSV ready for the treasurer the moment the last game settles |
The stack for a benefit night
RojoEvents
Runs the door-pass ticketing, the cashier register and the auto-called program from one console — the same platform a hall runs its Friday on, sized down to a single night with no ongoing commitment.
LiveStream
Puts your caller on camera for supporters who bought a ticket but can't make it in person.
RoJo Identity
Invites volunteers as cashiers by e-mail for the night, and revokes their access the moment the event closes.
How a benefit night comes together
A benefit night, start to finish
Set the tiers
Package tiers go into the program editor once — admission, cards free every game, or switch the event to credit instead.
Print the run
A batch of QR tickets prints with buyer names already on them, as a PDF or a CSV for the print shop.
Staff the door
Volunteers are invited as cashiers by e-mail for the night only; PIN-approved cash-outs work from any phone.
Close the books
The night settles into a per-cashier report and a CSV for the treasurer, with a fairness proof behind every result.
Supporters playing from home
The same ticket, off-site
A ticket sold at the door works off-site too — the same QR link opens on any phone, anywhere.
It plays itself
Cards auto-daub as balls are called; one BINGO button does the rest, no app to install.
Add the camera
Add LiveStream and supporters watch your caller call the game live, from wherever they are.
A recurring series
The pool carries forward
A progressive jackpot carries forward from one benefit night to the next instead of resetting each time.
Copy the program
Copy last event's program to set up the next one in a tap.
Each event, its own close
Each event still closes with its own per-cashier report and CSV, kept separate for the board.
A sample 8-game benefit program
75-ball, benefit format with package admission. Browse the full 198-pattern library →
| Game | Ball | Pattern | Jackpot | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 75 | Any Line | — | Package admission opener |
| 2 | 75 | Four Corners | — | |
| 3 | 75 | Letter X | — | |
| 4 | 75 | Postage Stamp | Moneyball | |
| 5 | 75 | Any Six-Pack (2×3 / 3×2 block) | — | |
| 6 | 75 | Layer Cake | — | |
| 7 | 75 | Diamond | Designated-number | |
| 8 | 75 | Coverall (Full House) | — | Finale |
Programs are fully configurable — ball types, patterns, prices and payouts are yours to set.
Every game issues cards free under the package, or sells by credit if that's how the event is set.
Who's on shift
A benefit night doesn't need a single paid employee — the whole shift is covered by volunteers from your own group.
| Role | On shift | What they do |
|---|---|---|
| Volunteer cashiers | 2-4, however many doors you want open | Sell and scan tickets, approve PIN cash-outs, each with their own report |
| Caller | Optional | The program runs auto-called by default; add a caller if your group would rather run it by hand |
What this does for the cause
A benefit night's economics are set the moment the tiers go into the editor — package admission with cards free every game, or pay-as-you-go credit if that suits your crowd better. A moneyball or designated-number jackpot gives supporters a reason to stay for the finale, and a progressive pool can carry the incentive from one event to the next for a recurring series. LiveStream extends the same ticket to supporters who can't attend in person, without opening a second sales channel. None of it requires a merchant account of your own or a volunteer who understands payment processing — the money runs through the same platform, start to finish.
You set your prices and payouts and keep your revenue. Straightforward per-player pricing for digital events — sell as many cards per player as you like. No cut of prizes — we license the software.
Operators run under the rules and regulations of their local jurisdiction.
Getting started
Tell us the date, the format and a rough head count, and we set up your organization's first program with you — patterns, prices, jackpots. See the full platform walkthrough →, or check current plans →.
What fundraisers ask
None of our volunteers have run a register before — is that a problem?
No — the cashier role runs on any phone a volunteer already carries, with no register to buy and no training beyond an afternoon.
Is this only for one-off events, or can we run a series?
Both — a single benefit night closes its own books, or a recurring series can carry a progressive jackpot from one event to the next.
What does our treasurer actually receive?
A per-cashier report and a CSV export, ready the moment the last game settles, with a fairness proof behind every result.
Can supporters who can't attend still take part?
Yes — the same ticket works from home, and adding LiveStream puts your caller on camera for them.
Do we still need a cash box at the door?
No — admission sells as a package or by credit, and every sale gets a receipt instead of a line in a cash box.
What if we've never organized anything like this before?
We walk you through the first program end to end, so the first event runs just as smoothly as an experienced group's fifth one.
