Bishop Gadsden held its February Generous Spirit Program – Go RED! Bingo on Thursday and it was a WONDERFUL SUCCESS. The Generous Spirit Program offers both the residents and the staff of Bishop Gadsden, the opportunity to jointly support area charitable organizations. February’s program benefited the American Heart Association, as February is American Heart Month.
Seventy-five residents and staff made donations to the American Heart Association through purchasing a $5 Bingo card, with no limit to the number of cards people could purchase. Forty people attended the sixteen-game event, playing with 100 cards. Giveaways and prizes of heart healthy chocolate, red wine and subway gift cards kept the crowd going, even through many had non-winning cards. Since Bingo is not played often in the Apartment and Cottage community, it was an enjoyable change of pace for residents and staff.
But, beyond the fun, the great news is, Bishop Gadsden was able to make a $500 donation to the American Heart Association – all from playing Bingo and having fun.
