General questions:
Why are you organising this UNITY BINGO?
Team Eberhardjes and Dolly Bellefleur love to draw attention to what is possible when we stay open to one another's differences. The messages 'Take good care of the city and of each other' and 'Let love rule' really speak for themselves. By coming together, from a place of positivity and love, for one BINGO for the whole city of Amsterdam, we're rewarded with a shared sense of joy that's truly priceless. We're organising this special UNITY BINGO to make that feeling visible together with as many people as possible. By playing, you contribute to this sharde sense directly!
Is this UNITY BINGO only for LGBTIQ+ people?
This BINGO is for everyone, thus for all the people of the world! As Dolly so beautifully puts it: "Gay, straight, lesbian, transgender, non-binary or bi? Together we are family..."
Does it matter which country I sponsor?
No, you can sponsor any country you like. You're welcome to leave a note explaining why you're sponsoring a country. Heartfelt, connecting messages will be published, so that each country comes to reveal its own beautiful stories.
Can I take part as a company too?
Absolutely! We make no distinctions here, everyone can take part. Would you like to support us with a larger contribution? Then please do get in touch with us via this form or via info@eberhardjes.nl
What happens if you raise a lot of money?
We're transparent about how we spend our money. The most important thing is the funding for Dolly Bellefleur's boat. Once we've covered those costs, any extra money lets us make the party that little bit more special. On top of that, Stichting Eberhardjes and Dolly Bellefleur are (already) incurring costs right now, to make all of this possible. It would be wonderful if those costs were covered too.
What happens if you don't raise enough money?
Of course we hope you'll help us make this UNITY BINGO a success, but it's possible that turnout falls short. At the end of the day, we're only a small team.
If we don't hit BINGO, we won't incur any costs for the packs or the party, because sadly those won't go ahead. We will, however, have costs for Dolly Bellefleur's boat. We'll use the money raised up to that point to cover them. Both Team Eberhardjes and Dolly Bellefleur will then share the loss together. You have to take a risk if you want to spread the love... ❤️
Becoming a sponsor:
I've already sponsored Dolly Bellefleur, so why is there sponsoring here too?
Dolly Bellefleur is sailing in the Canal Parade again this year. Every year, getting the boat and all the costs that come with it sponsored is quite a challenge. Happily, Dolly can count on lots of wonderful people who loyally support her and maybe you've already sponsored her this year. Have you? Then you were the first to hear about this special UNITY BINGO by email, and you're taking part already!
With the BINGO, we're aiming to get the sponsoring fully covered and to draw extra attention to the diversity of Amsterdam.
Have you already sponsored Dolly but haven't received any word about this campaign? Then something went wrong. Email us at info@eberhardjes.nl and we'll help you out.
Can I become a major sponsor?
Absolutely! Right now, Stichting Eberhardjes Amsterdam and Dolly Bellefleur are taking on the full risk for this campaign. We'd be delighted to be supported by companies that want to show they, too, believe in positivity and love.
You can of course do this by sponsoring a flag, but it's even more wonderful when you'd like to link your company name to this campaign. There are options starting from €5,000. And if you'd like to be the sole company partnering with us, that's possible for €15,000. Fill in this form or email us at info@eberhardjes.nl and we'll send you the details.
I'd like to become a sponsor anonymously
It's possible to sponsor us anonymously. Fill in this form or email us at info@eberhardjes.nl and we'll be glad to get in touch with you personally.
Aren't I too late to become a sponsor?
No, you're never too late with us. Team Eberhardjes and Dolly Bellefleur are flexibel and still have plenty of wonderful things in store for Amsterdam. We'd be glad to make you part of it, if you have serious interest.
Why are sponsors needed if you're raising money through the BINGO?
The money we raise through the UNITY BINGO goes to Dolly Bellefleur's boat! It sails through Amsterdam's canals on 1 August 2026.
If we hit BINGO together, we'll celebrate with a big party, or you'll receive a unique box of Eberhardjes featuring Dolly Bellefleur. So extra costs are being made.
This is what we're looking for sponsors for: companies that understand what we stand for, because they too, as a company, stand for positivity and love. Those are the kinds of companies we're looking for, and the kinds of companies we love to put in the spotlight. Get in touch with us and fill in our form or email us at info@eberhardjes.nl
