Charity at Bingo Sites
Friday, 7 December 2012 | Written by Tami Bayliss
Yet again we are seeing the lovely charitable efforts of caring online bingo sites and fans! Do you remember throughout the Summer when the Joy of Bingo Sites were holding their cool Strawberry Tea promotions? Or perhaps you remember their Pink Friday promotions running throughout October? Each and every site in the Joy of Bingo network were holding something special and pink-themed, and the reason for this was to try and raise money and awareness for the Brest Cancer Care charity. It looks like both you and the Joy of Bingo sites efforts have not been in vain, as it was recently reported that they actually managed to raise almost £32,000! And it is all thanks you lot lovely online bingo fans!
If you are a regular reader of Wiki Bingo then you will know full well that the sites under the Joy of Bingo hat are Red Bus Bingo Big Brother Bingo, Tasty Bingo, Wink Bingo, Posh Bingo, 888Ladies Bingo and Bingo Street, and all of these sites are mega popular! This is not just because each and every one of them offer more seasonal treats than any other online bingo site in the industry – it is also because they regularly offer oodles of excellent promotions in which the proceeds go to charity. It’s not just the worthy causes of the world that Joy of Bingo are looking out for – it’s you lot, too! These games may be for charity but that doesn’t mean that you are not rewarded for your stellar efforts too! Take the Strawberry Tea promotion for example – this was playing across all of the Joy of Bingo sites and offered prizes of £1K whilst each site contributed £2 to Breast Cancer care for every £1 ticket that you lot bought for the game! Their Pink Friday games had you all scooping lovely big prizes of £5K in their awesome 75 ball bingo games, too – and of course the proceeds when to Breast Cancer Care.
Thanks to all of the efforts of Joy of Bingo and you ever chartable online bingo fans, they managed to raise almost £32K for this amazing cause. The cash you raised will be used to enhance awareness of this cause as well as treatments and research into the battle against breast cancer. Naturally the Joy of Bingo network – who had set their sights on raising £20K – are absolutely thrilled by this and can’t believe that you all managed to help them exceed that target by a whopping 50%! A spokesperson for the online bingo network stated:
“Breast Cancer Care is a charity that aims to ensure that every person affected by breast cancer gets the best treatment, information and support. It provides candid advice alongside clinical expertise to people affected by breast cancer, whatever the stage. It was not just bingo but a worthy cause on the minds of many that brought players together to raise substantial financial support for the cause.”
