Rush Bingo: A Fresh Take on Tenant Appreciation

Written by The Rush Companies | Feb 10, 2026 6:55:41 PM

 

At Rush Properties, our tenants are a vital part of the communities we are proud to support. That is why tenant appreciation is a year-round focus, centered on relationship-building, meaningful connection, and genuine gratitude for the people and businesses who call our properties home.

As we wrapped up 2025, we set out to try a new approach that was interactive, easy to join, and genuinely fun. Once we checked all the boxes, the answer was clear...

Bingo!

Over two weeks in December, Rush Properties hosted our first-ever Rush Bingo, a virtual tenant appreciation event designed to bring people together during the busy end-of-year season.

Tenants and their teams were invited to download a custom Rush Bingo card (check it out below!), complete a variety of activities, and return their completed cards for entry into a raffle featuring prizes ranging from gift cards and household items to premium snack drops and experiences, all personally curated, assembled, and delivered by our Rush Properties team.

What Made Rush Bingo a Hit

Rush Bingo focused on small moments with big impact. Each square invited participants to pause, share, and engage, whether that meant offering a wellness tip, recommending a favorite lunch spot, telling a joke, or sharing a few words of encouragement.

The responses gave us a fun glimpse into the people and businesses that bring energy, personality, and heart to our properties and communities. Here are a few highlights:

Jokes That Made Us Laugh

  • What do you call a belt made of watches? A waist of time!
  • Why did the cellphone go to the optometrist? Because it needed contacts.
  • Want to hear a joke about pizza? Nah… it’s too cheesy.

Inspirational Quotes That Hit Home

  • “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” — Theodore Roosevelt
  • “I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than the things I haven’t done.” — Lucille Ball
  • “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” — Winnie the Pooh

Favorite Local Lunch Spots

  • Ikonos, Gig Harbor
  • Mana Sushi, Port Orchard (another cherished Rush Properties tenant!)
  • Toast Mi, Tacoma

Wellness Tips

  • 15 minutes of light exposure first thing in the morning helps regulate your circadian rhythm.
  • Set hourly reminders to get up, walk around, and drink water.
  • Dance breaks! A perfect reset during a busy or stressful day. 

Prizes, Hand-Delivered with Care

Participants were entered to win a range of fun prizes, including:

  • Gift cards to local favorites and experiences like Tacoma Rainiers, Topgolf, Barnes & Noble, SpaFinder, Texas de Brazil Steakhouse Tacoma, and more
  • Cuisinart bread maker
  • Brown Bear Car Wash “Beary Best” ticket books
  • Sony WH-100XM5 noise-canceling headphones
  • Premium snack drops delivered directly to tenant suites
  • Grand Prize: A two-night getaway to Icicle Village Resort in Leavenworth (valued at $1,500)

In early January, our Rush Properties team personally delivered each prize, giving us the chance to connect face-to-face, share a few smiles, and start the new year on a positive note.

Each prize added to the excitement and helped make Rush Bingo a memorable way to celebrate our tenants.

What our tenants had to say:

“I am so excited to have won. That was a fun activity to change the work days up a bit.”

“Thank you so much! It was really kind that you did this for the tenants. With or without winning, it was generous!”

“Thank you again for this incredible prize! I started digging through the basket and WOW! So much amazing stuff. Soappreciate it!”

Thank You for Playing!

And congratulations to all of our 2025 Rush Bingo winners!

Rush Bingo was a fun way to wrap up 2025, bringing creativity, connection, and a little friendly competition into the mix.

To our tenants, thank you for jumping in and for everything you do to make our communities what they are. And to our Rush Properties team, thank you for the care, coordination, and hands-on effort that made this first-ever event such a hit.

We’re excited to keep the momentum going andcontinue connecting with and celebrating our tenants in 2026 and beyond.
