WINGO 2012
On Wednesday, March 21st, ORT put on its annual WINGO (Women’s Only BINGO) event at Congregation Beth Ahm, attracting over 300 guests and raising over $55,000 for ORT. The evening included a silent auction, raffles, a strolling dinner and 10 games of BINGO. To receive a free raffle ticket, attendees were encouraged to bring a book to be donated for Bookstock. PNC Bank served as the Presenting Sponsor of the event. Other corporate sponsors included Hansons, Level One Bank, Pegasus Entertainment, Joe Cornell Entertainment, and Classic Photography by Murray Goldenberg. The theme of the event was called “WINGO Provides a Window of Opportunities” and the entire room was filled with decorated windows. For the second year in a row, Carol Kellman, Halle Saperstein and Sylvia Wolf served as the event co-chairs, and State Representative Lisa Brown serving as the BINGO caller. Co-chair Halle Saperstein said, “I am proud to be a part of an event that not only supports a charity I am passionate about, but also supports our local community where my friends and family live.”
Proceeds from the event will go to support ORT programs all over the world, including those offered at ORT’s local David B. Hermelin ORT Resource Center located inside the West Bloomfield Jewish Community Center. Nicole Miller, ORT Michigan Director, said “I love working with the dedicated women who serve on the event planning committees. I am so impressed with how much effort they put forth into ensuring that not only are the ORT events fun for attendees, but that the events bring in significant dollars for ORT, its schools, and its students around the world. Our committees keep growing, and it’s amazing to see so many interested, young people wanting to get involved.”
