When Lakewood Ranch's Kathleen Osterberg heard a number called, she shook her hands in excitement.

Osterberg shouted, "Bingo!"

Osterberg's card was checked, and she celebrated her win by collecting her prize, a designer purse and wallet. 

"It's amazing," Osterberg said. "It's the first time I ever won in Bingo."

Nine women were winners during Sisterhood for Good's Designer Bag Bingo Nov. 18 at Gold Coast Eagle Distributing. 

Becca Towery, a Sisterhood for Good member, couldn't wait to have fun during a night of Bingo while raising money for the nonprofit's grant program, which provides grants to other local nonprofits that make a difference in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
