Big Willie’s Hosts Giving Tuesday Bingo Night to Support Animals in Need

Big Willie’s Sports Bar, recently voted Utah’s Best Sports Bar by City Weekly, is teaming up with Salt Lake County Animal Services this Giving Tuesday to raise funds for injured, abandoned, and at-risk animals in need of urgent medical care.

On Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, at 7:00 p.m., Big Willie’s will host a special Giving Tuesday Bingo Night, where 100% of proceeds go toward the Injured Animal Fund, a program that provides lifesaving surgeries, treatments, and recovery care for animals with no one else to turn to.

The event is part of Salt Lake County Animal Services’ “Help Heal Their Hearts” Giving Season campaign, which aims to raise $10,000. $5,000 for Team Cats and $5,000 for Team Dogs to help replenish the fund for the year ahead. Donations will go toward surgeries, treatment, and recovery care.

“We love being part of the Salt Lake community, and this is a cause that really touches the hearts of our staff and customers,” said Michelle Mannos, co-owner of Big Willie’s. “We’re inviting everyone to come out, grab a drink, play some Bingo, and help us reach the goal together. Whether you’re Team Cat or Team Dog, every dollar makes a difference.”

Guests can expect a lively night filled with prizes, giveaways, themed cocktails, and a chance to meet local animal lovers who share a passion for giving back.

Supporters who can’t attend can still donate directly to the Injured Animal Fund through the Salt Lake County Animal Services website.

Who’s your pick, Team Cats or Team Dogs?

Join Big Willie’s and Salt Lake County Animal Services for a night of fun, community, and compassion, and help heal the hearts of animals who deserve a second chance.
