A running slide show & an original CROP Bingo game designed by social media chair, Janis Iwanyk, led to conversations about our 30th Anniversary Walk. funds raised (over $120,000) and Food Collection (11,000 lbs.) As attendees played bingo guests contributed with information about participating groups and schools, new activites like the LUG A JUG Brigade, our teen clothesline project which highlighted information about our 17 local partners. We shared news about our new walk wristbands and student designed walk t-shirt. It was very popular.
