I am currently the fundraising chair and last year we had a Longaberger Basket Bingo (we made over $3000) . We purchased about 20 baskets from a consultant, and had each sister find someone to sponsor the basket. Next each sister had to have someone sponsor the contents inside the basket as well.
As far as where, what, how, ect, we had our bingo at our school gym. We had the school sponsor our food for consessions. We sold about 300 tickets @ $10.00/piece. So with the tickets, food, and extra games, ect, we made out pretty well. We also found companies to give door prizes (about 50 total). This event was such a good idea, we are doing it again this year.
In addition, I found some good ideas on this web page:

Good luck.
