KBR Bingo

Benefits

KBR Bingo & More will be hosting benefit Bingos this weekend at the Bingo hall in the Piper Museum, Lock Haven. The Bingo hall is on the 3rd floor with elevator access. On Saturday, May 30, the Bingo will benefit David Stoltzfus, the Amish man who lost his family and home in April. There will also be a BBQ Chicken meal and other food options like hot dogs, sloppy Joe’s, homemade pies, cupcakes, whoopee pies and more to choose from.

On Sunday, May 31, the Bingo will benefit Colette Karstetter in her battle against ovarian cancer. Colette is currently taking chemo treatments in State College and the travel expenses and other related costs are really adding up, so this benefit will help Colette. Doors open at 11 a.m. and Bingo games begin at 1 p.m. There’s also 50/50 and rip tickets along with a basket raffle to help raise funds. Tickets are available at the door. For more info call Susan at 570-367-9996 or Deb at 570-660-2647.
