It will be a hit.

The Hempfield Softball Designer Purse and Prize Bingo fundraiser will be held Sunday, March 29, at the Lancaster Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.

Doors will open at noon; the first game will start at 1 p.m.

In addition to the 20 games of bingo that are included in the ticket price, there will be three special games, and guests can purchase chances to win other items. The bingo prizes will include purses designed by Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and Coach; Yeti coolers; gift cards; a DeWalt drill; and themed baskets.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at Eventbrite until 9 a.m. on the day of the activity by going to https://tinyurl.com/53h5ycc9. Tickets will also be available at the door unless the event is sold out.

Food will be sold, including pizza, hot dogs, and baked goods.

"People should come and help support Hempfield softball, because in the long run, it's going to have a great deal of positive impact on the softball team, and it's good for the community to have a team be successful," junior captain Rose Wendel said. "It's really fun to play bingo, so you can win some prizes, you can win a Yeti basket, a poppy basket, and so much more, and I think it would really bring families together, the community together, to help support one another."

The get-together is put on by the Hempfield Softball Booster Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group of parent volunteers who support the team by fundraising, organizing events like team dinners and team bonding, and making sure the girls have what they need for a successful season, fundraising chair Mindy Reese said.

"The Hempfield softball program needs support from the community to help give our players the best opportunities," Reese added. "Proceeds from the bingo will help with equipment, uniforms, travel costs, and team expenses that are not fully covered by the school."

The booster club is seeking local businesses or individuals to sponsor the event. Anyone who has questions or is interested in sponsorships can email Reese at mindy.hempfieldmom@gmail.com.

In addition to the bingo, the Hempfield Softball Booster Club holds a series of small fundraisers and dine-outs throughout the year. There will be a Black Knight Bash Senior Scholarship 14U Rec softball tournament on Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3, which will provide a scholarship for all graduating seniors.

The money generated is put to good use. Senior captain Lily Ashton stated that the booster club assists with getting lunches and snacks for people for bus rides, supports team dinners, and helps with making sure there is enough money so that the program can buy equipment if the school can't provide it. "They play a very big role in the Hempfield softball program," Lily added. "We all appreciate them so much, because without them, it definitely would be hard to run a softball team and the fun things outside of that."

Senior captain Kiara Rodriguez said the Black Knights players look forward to the bingo event. "We help out throughout the entire event, but we also participate in the event, too, because it's really fun," she said. "It's bonding, too."
