Charitable Gambling . . .


Our locations offer various forms of charitable gambling. which include pull-tabs, paddlewheel, Tri-wheel, meat raffle, bar bingo and Mega Bingo. These business partners provide the venue for the Coon Rapids Lions Club to secure the proceeds for their philanthropic endeavors.

If it weren't for these businesses partnering up with the Coon Rapids Lions Club, there wouldn't be the extensive financial support to the various community organizations and individuals that is provided each year.

The Coon Rapids Lions Club has two gaming sites in the City of Coon Rapids. The Coon Rapids Lions Club is grateful for their gaming partners continued support of its Gaming operation and encourage you to visit these businesses.
