Schaumburg, IL, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — R3 Contracting, a family-owned general contractor based in Schaumburg, is a sponsor of Gerry’s Café’s 2nd Annual Jingle BINGO, a holiday fundraiser held on Giving Tuesday, December 1, 2026. The event runs from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall and raises money for Gerry’s Café, a nonprofit coffee shop at 1802 N.

Gerry’s Café employs more than 30 people with disabilities and uses the café as a training ground for job and life skills that carry over to other workplaces. Money raised through events like Jingle BINGO helps the organization work toward its next goal: more Gerry’s Café locations and related ventures that create additional jobs.

“Our crews spend every day in homes across the northwest suburbs, so supporting the people who live and work here comes naturally to us,” said James Rogers, Owner, at R3 Contracting. “Gerry’s Café gives adults with disabilities real jobs, real paychecks, and skills they keep for life. We’re proud to help make Giving Tuesday a big night for them.”

Jingle BINGO pairs a few hours of holiday fun with a clear purpose. Guests play BINGO for prizes, enjoy popcorn and a cash bar, and are encouraged to show up in their most festive outfits. A 50/50 raffle runs during the evening. Between games, Gerry’s Café employees and their families share their own stories about what steady work and an inclusive workplace have meant to them.

Registration for the 2026 event is sold out. Businesses interested in sponsoring can find packages on the Gerry’s Café events page. Anyone who wants to support the mission can donate online or by check payable to Brewing Opportunities, mailed to 1802 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Arlington Heights, IL 60004. Gerry’s Café is operated by Brewing Opportunities, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible.
