About Community Bingo
Community Bingo was created through the joint efforts of the Goodyear White Tanks Rotary and the Buckeye Rotary. The two rotaries sought to create a community hall that could also serve as an entertainment center, and to create a mechanism for collecting and then disseminating funds to local charities for the improvement of players’ communities. Today, we are seeing those goals realized. The multi-use design of the hall makes it a sought after community venue for local clubs, weddings, graduation parties, social meetings, business meetings and, of course, Charity Bingo. In addition, the money raised–along with generous players’ donations– has provided toys and holiday items for needy families, educational items to schools, donations for cancer prevention and treatment, funding for elderly programs, and much more to enhance our community.
Community Bingo opened its doors on November 9, 2012 to an enthusiastic crowd. Since its opening, Community Bingo has grown into a West Valley bingo hall of choice. We invite you to come play bingo in a new, clean, cheery venue, where all net profits are returned to the local community. Come, get your “bingo-on.” You will enjoy it.
DOES YOUR CHARITY NEED MONEY?
Community Bingo has donated over $30,000 to local charities so far! If you are connected with a local charity, let us help your charity raise $100, $500, $1500, or more. Any non-profit 501(c)3 organization (church, school, scout club, service club, or other charity) that needs to raise funds is eligible to participate in our Non-Profit Organization (NPO) program. To learn more or to join the NPO, contact Vince Evans.

WELCOME TO THT CITY OF BUCKEYE
History
Founded in 1888, this western most community of the Valley of the Sun is home to over 50,000 people. For the past 20 years, growth in the greater Phoenix area has been robust in three of our four quadrants of the region. With those areas rapidly nearing build out, the last frontier rests in the southwest valley and the Town of Buckeye.
Planning
Town planners project that it will take at least 30 years for the nearly 600-mile planning area that stretches from almost Wickenburg to Gila Bend, the
Hassayampa River to Perryville Road, to be built out.
Biggest of the Small
As Arizona’s biggest “small town,” we still enjoy the great feeling of a small community. Buckeye celebrates Countryfest in the fall, Pioneer Days in the spring, and a great family Fourth of July.
Population Information
The population of Buckeye in 2012 is over 50,000. Currently there are over 240,000 homes planned in Buckeye.
Along with homes, there are world-class retail, entertainment, health care, education, and employment uses planned.
Location Information
Buckeye is fortunate to be intersected by five highways, home to a general aviation airport, and served by the railroad. Virtually every major mode of transportation makes Buckeye accessible from multiple points. In addition to this, the Town of Buckeye sits on the state’s largest untapped groundwater aquifer, the Hassayampa River Basin. And the majestic view of the White Tank Mountains from every vantage point creates a unique and unparalleled landscape.
More About Buckeye
Being located just 35 miles west of Phoenix makes it convenient for work, sightseeing, and an exciting nightlife, yet far enough away to retain a comfortable small town feeling. Therefore, residents can take advantage of the amenities found in a metropolitan city and throughout its western suburbs, and then return to the quiet comforts of home.
This once sleepy agricultural town is at the dawn of a new era, and those residents who are proud to call Buckeye home have found a great place to live, work and discover the best that Arizona has to offer.
Estrella Mountain Community College offers academic courses leading to associate degrees, university transfer, certificates and short-term job training to more than 14,000 students annually. The flagship campus is located on Thomas and Dysart Roads in Avondale and is home to the SouthWest Skill Center. The satellite campus, EMCC’s Buckeye Educational Center, is located in downtown Buckeye. Estrella Mountain is one of ten colleges in the Maricopa County Community College District, one of the largest community college districts in the nation. www.estrellamountain.edu or www.maricopa.edu.
