Carmel Tri Kappa will host its fourth annual bingo fundraiser during what a Tri Kappa Bingo Committee member calls a “fun” and “raucous” night to raise funds for scholarships benefiting local high school seniors.

“We are constantly looking to improve it and be able to raise more money so that those scholarships are funded. The hope is to be able to expand it a little bit as well,” event chair Terry Denari said.

The event includes 10 games of bingo beginning at 6 p.m. April 19 at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St. Dinner is included and a cash bar is available.

Tickets are $25. Prize money for the first nine games is $50 per game and the 10th game is $100.

“We feel like bingo night is a three-pronged event,” Denari said. “It’s a really fun night. We have a good time. It’s kind of surprising how you maybe consider bingo to be a quiet thing and it ends up being a really raucous and fun night. It’s also a way to reach out to the community (members) who maybe do not know about Tri Kappa. It’s a fun team-building night for Tri Kappa members themselves, and everything we do that night ends up funding our philanthropic arm.”
