Kansas City volunteerism




It is hard to imagine that anyone living in Kansas City has not yet been invited to a Hamburger Mary's Charity Bingo event, but the possibility does exist. If you happen to fall into this category, consider this your formal invitation!





Volunteerism does not have to be drudgery. In most cases, in fact, serving your community does not even involve sweat or dirt. Even those projects that do require some manual labor in the heat or cold and that may result in filthy skin or clothing, the expressions of gratitude from those being served and the sense of fulfillment experienced by those who are serving far outweigh the after effects of work.





Far more often, volunteering is a truly fun and enjoyable experience. Many non-profits have turned to event planning as one component of their efforts to serve their constituents and the more fun the occasion, typically the more money donated to the organization. Look at the local events calendar at any time and you'll see galas, Grote Maten Trouwjurken wine tastings, concerts, golf tournaments, 5K races; each benefiting a Kansas City area charitable agency.

But it is unlikely you'll find a fundraising opportunity quite like Charity Bingo at Hamburger Mary's!





Hamburger Mary's Kansas City is Avondjurken 2012 one of ten across the United States. Every Wednesday and Thursday night from 8pm to 10pm, with rare exception, a different local non-profit is spotlighted and a portion of the proceeds from that evening's Bingo is donated to them.





Just $10 cash earns each player 10 chances to play Bingo and an equal number of opportunities to win.





Be forewarned, this is not your average Bingo game!





The calling is creative, the entertainment is bold, and the game play environment can be rowdy. Children and less than spry grandparents should stay home. But what better way to enjoy an evening in support of rescue animals, children, disease prevention, and other social services?





Although Bingo begins at 8pm, participants are highly encouraged to arrive early for the best seating and to enjoy some of Hamburger Mary's unique drink offerings and fabulous vloer-length avondjurken food fare.
