Hundreds gathered Feb. 26 at the Sunset Plaza in Amarillo, to help in an event to help Family Support Services. Members of the National Broadcasting Society volunteered to perform several jobs that evening from working the photo booth to serving food.
“It was a great event that supported Family Support Services,” Tyler Sweeney, junior broadcasting major, said. “They support our community in so many ways, so it was great to finally give them support.”This event celebrated its second year Saturday, and the crowd was bigger than last year. Attendees participated in a silent auction, entered for a chance to win a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, and had the opportunity to play games such as Blackjack, Roulette, and Craps.“I love that Family Support Services allows us to come and help out with their fundraiser, and our chapter members are always excited to get out into the community that supports us and help out those in need,” Luisa Mireles, a junior broadcasting major and NBS vice president, said.
