Hambingo Charity Night at Hamburger Mary's KC

Join us for Charity Bingo benefiting Gardner KS Pride!

This ain't your grandma's bingo… After all, this ain't the VFW! It's down and dirty "HamB-I-N-G-O" Hamburger Mary's style, with lots of tongue-in-cheek sass!

We fill up for almost every charity bingo event, so we encourage you to make reservations. That's the only way to ensure you have a table.

*Note: To be seated at a table during charity bingo events there is a $15 minimum purchase per person at the table mandatory purchase.

*To play bingo, a $10 cash donation to the charity will get you a book of 10 bingo cards. 100% of the donation goes to the charity. No cash prizes are given to game winners. Winners of each game are given a prize from the prize table which are donated to the charity.

Don’t forget to bring plenty of cash for tips!
