YWCA Wheeling hosts 2nd Annual Mega Bingo Fundraiser

WHEELING, W.Va. (WTRF) — The YWCA Wheeling hosted it’s 2nd annual Mega Bingo Fundraiser on Saturday at the River City Wheeling Artisan Center.

The event featured 14 games of bingo with a $1,000 payout for each game along with a special coverall game that had a payout of $3,000. All proceeds made at the event will go directly to supporting the YWCA Wheeling’s various services and projects.

The executive director of the YWCA Wheeling, Lori Jones, says the turnout they saw for the event on Saturday was heartwarming.

“We can’t do what we do if the community doesn’t show up to help us. We support about 7200 women, children and men each year through our programs and it takes a village. This is the village that showed up today and we’re just happy, happy, happy. Thank you, community. Thank you, Ohio Valley.”

The YWCA Wheeling will be hosting the event quarterly in partnership with Laughlin Memorial Chapel. The next Mega Bingo fundraiser will be at the same location on November 16 and all proceeds made at that event will go to supporting the Laughlin Memorial Chapel.
