$1000 Grand Prize – plus 8 $100 Prizes
Tickets - $5.00
Cow Pie Bingo (CPB) is our primary fundraiser for Sober Grad Night. Raising $8,200 each year helps to make an outstanding Sober Grad Night event for our graduating seniors.
This fundraiser is open to anyone in the community! For a small amount you can support a great local cause for young people plus get a chance to win $1,000 or $100.
“Pay It Forward” with Cow Pie Bingo
We encourage all FHS students to support Sober Grad Night throughout their high school years. We urge families with freshmen, sophomores and juniors to purchase at least 2 Cow Pie tickets each year ultimately supporting their own Sober Grad Night. We ask that seniors and their families purchase at least 5 tickets or more. Remember, you are welcome to resell tickets to neighbors, extended family and friends.
How CPB Works
A grid of squares is marked off on a field at Zittel Farms and the squares are numbered in random order. Your CPB ticket number corresponds to a number on that field. A cow is turned loose on the grid to deposit his/her “PIE.” The square containing the “PIE” is the grand prize winner of $1,000 and the 8 surrounding squares each receive $100. Winners need not be present to win.

Sober Grad Night
May 31, 2012 from 9:00pm-4:00am
The Block at Lakeside Church – 745 Oak Avenue Parkway - Folsom
Tickets - $60/$65/$70
It’s a fun, supervised and sober graduation celebration for all Folsom High School graduating seniors. Seniors want to celebrate with their friends on graduation night. It is a milestone event in their lives and often the last time they ever see some of their classmates. Our committee prepares and plans throughout the year in order to make that celebration spectacular...and safe. Graduation night across the nation has proven to be one of the most dangerous times of a young person's life, due in great part to the presence of alcohol and drugs. This is our twentieth year of organizing an excellent graduation event for Folsom High School graduates. About 85% of the graduating students traditionally attend the event. Our 2012 class will have over 460 students. Our Sober Grad Night has top-notch entertainment, delicious refreshments, exciting prizes (including cash), a fun casino and lots of interactive games. This is made possible because of the continuing support of our community residents and businesses. Admission Ticket includes: T-shirt, All-You-Can-Eat-n-Drink, Games, Entertainment & Raffle Tickets for Prizes!
