Milan Seniors for Healthy Living: Elevating Bingo Nights with New Equipment

We’re excited to announce the ongoing success of Milan Seniors for Healthy Living (MSHL) and their popular Bingo nights, thanks to a generous GMACF Milan Area Enrichment Fund grant. The funding has significantly upgraded the equipment and supplies used during these events, enhancing both the attendee experience and the efficiency of fundraising efforts.

Maxine Tewsley, Program Director at MSHL, expressed her enthusiasm: “The new equipment has truly transformed our Bingo events, creating a more professional and exciting environment. It’s wonderful to see the energy and excitement from our Bingo players as they enter the space and throughout the event.”

The grant has allowed MSHL to introduce new tools like a tabletop electric blower, a flashboard, a stand, and other essential supplies, making it easier for participants to visualize the called numbers and enjoy a seamless experience.

For over a decade, Bingo has been a cornerstone fundraiser for MSHL. Since receiving the grant, the organization has hosted several successful Bingo events, generating significant revenue and attracting large crowds. The positive response from the community has ensured the continued success of these events, ensuring they remain an essential part of the fundraising efforts for years to come.

We are grateful for the ongoing support from the Milan community. If you’d like to contribute to future projects like MSHL’s Bingo nights, please consider donating to the Milan Area Enrichment Fund via the GMACF Donation Page.
