MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES "BOSTON
BINGO" TO ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO SHOP LOCALLY
BOSTON - Monday, February 23, 2015 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today
announced "Boston Bingo," a game created by the Mayor's Office of
Economic Development to support local businesses following the historic amount
of snow that Boston has received over the past thirty days. Mayor Walsh is encouraging residents and
visitors to download the bingo card at http://www.boston.gov/bingo.
Paper cards will be available this week at businesses located in Main Streets
districts.
"Boston Bingo is a creative way for residents to come
together and support our local economy as we continue to recover from the
historic amount of snow Boston has received this winter," said Mayor
Walsh.
The cards look like a traditional bingo card and encourage
players to "grab a burger" or "see a show," and remind them
to have a pizza delivered, purchase something small, or "snag something
spicy."
Players are encouraged to snap a photo at each location and
tweet, Instagram, or Facebook a picture using the hashtag #BosBINGO, and
consider tagging each local establishment.
"We are excited to launch Boston Bingo," said John
Barros, Chief of Economic Development. "The weather has taken a toll on small
business revenues, making it harder for them to pay their employees, or keep up
with the costs of keeping their doors open.
It's so important that we do what we can to support them, and encourage
our neighbors to do the same."
The game will run through March 15. Submissions can be entered electronically or
by delivering them to the Office of Economic Development at Boston City
Hall. Prizes include Bruins tickets, a
Hubway membership and coffee with the Mayor.
A full list and detailed instructions accompany the bingo cards.
Full rules are available at http://www.boston.gov/bingo.
