Contributed by Jeni Brunquist, Young Life Mat-Su
This summer, laughter, adventure, and life-changing memories await dozens of local teenagers—but they need your help to get there.
Join us for Bunco De Mayo, a fun and festive co-ed fundraising night hosted by Young Life, a nonprofit organization that connects caring adult mentors with high school and middle school students, as well as young parents. The evening features a high-energy Bunco tournament, exciting prizes, community fun, and an unlimited taco bar - all to raise funds to send teens to Young Life summer camp.
What’s Bunco? It’s a simple, fast-paced dice game that’s easy to learn and even easier to love. No experience necessary— just bring your lucky streak and your appetite!
The event takes place Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the Government Peak Chalet. Tickets are $35 per person and in- clude Bunco play, unlimited tacos, drinks, and a chance to win prizes (ages 18+). Includes: Bunco play, unlimited taco bar, drinks, and chances to win fun prizes (ages 18+).
Young Life summer camp is more than just cabins and campfires. It’s a place where teens can disconnect from daily stress, form lasting friendships, and explore life and faith in a safe, supportive space.
“For many of our teens, camp is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” says Jeni Brunquist, a local Young Life leader. “We’ve seen lives change in a single week. Bunco De Mayo helps make that experi- ence possible for students who otherwise couldn’t afford to go.”
Whether you’re in it for the dice, the tacos, or the mission, your participation helps send teens—including young moms and their babies to camp. Can’t attend? You can still donate or sponsor a camper!
