Wyatt Thompson, known as K-State’s Voice of the Wildcats, is the celebrity caller for our third and final session of Grow Green Bingo, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, April 21, in the Community Room. Thompson, the play-by-play announcer for K-State football and men’s basketball games, is donating his time to help Meadowlark Hills Foundation raise money and awareness for Grow Green Match Day, which is Friday, April 22.

During the 4^th annual Match Day, donations made through the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation receive a 50% match. Meadowlark Hills Foundation is joining 44 other local not-for-profit organizations in urging our donors to participate. This event is a way for Meadowlark Hills Foundation to increase our endowment so that we can continue to develop our services and meet the future needs of our campus and community.

The fee to participate at Grow Green Bingo is a donation amount of your choice, but a minimum of $1 per card played is encouraged. Donations between $25 and $1000 per individual are eligible for a matching gift, and cash or checks are accepted. Checks should be written to Greater Manhattan Community Foundation and dated April 22, 2016.

Grow Green Bingo features out-of-the ordinary bingo games and special prizes, such as gift certificates and donations from Meadowlark Hills residents and local businesses. Bingo players of any age and skill level are welcome. The first two Grow Green Bingo sessions on April 7 and 14 raised nearly $700 (not counting the matching gift), so let’s keep the momentum going!

If you cannot visit event headquarters, either on your own or part of the Meadowlark Hills group, please leave your donation at the Hospitality Desk, and your gift will be submitted for you.
