Next Saturday on November 16, Mason\u2019s Mourning Light will be hosting the second annual Bowling Bingo Event at Centennial Lanes. Mason\u2019s Mourning Light is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families with infertility and child loss. This event seeks to raise funds for the organization while also providing a place of comfort for struggling families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part fundraiser and part community event,\u201d said Kayla Taylor, founder and current president of Mason\u2019s Mourning Light. \u201cJust having families who have lost a child get together and see that they\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s just helping to spread that awareness.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from wanting to have an indoor event to avoid weather restrictions, Mason\u2019s Mourning Light also hopes to create an atmosphere suitable for all ages, along with creating a unique event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to do something different,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cYou see a lot of the same types of activities around town. It gives us something a little unique against others who are trying to help.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the organization\u2019s goals in mind, a large part of the event is helping families who have experienced gathering together and build a strong community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou get to establish a relationship with other parents,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cA couple ladies that I know started talking to each other last year, and have really found that support from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major part of the Bowling Bingo is its promotion of a fun and casual atmosphere, as another effort to make the event for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fun time, and it\u2019s not a competition,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThere\u2019s really no pressure. Some of the bingo cards are things like bowling a strike, but some are granny style bowling. So people who are really not great at bowling can make it a pretty fun time and not feel like they\u2019re not good enough to come participate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this event, Mason\u2019s Mourning Light has two major goals in mind: bringing families together, and letting people know they are there for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to help people know we\u2019re here,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cWe\u2019re a fairly new organization, so letting people know we\u2019re here and that people can use us as a resource is important. One of our primary goals is spreading awareness of child loss and how common it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is set for 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 16 at Centennial Lanes. Tickets can be purchased online<\/a> or at the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
