Online Bingo Site Raises Money for Cancer

It's yet another indication coming from the world of online bingo and clearly shows

that the members at the very popular UK room Mecca Bingo that play bingo online not only do so for winning but they also do it for the sake of charity.

During the month of May, members at Mecca Bingo had the opportunity to play the Marie Curie Cancer Care Bingo game, which saw all proceeds going to that specific charity. For every 20 raised it funds one hour of Marie Curie Nursing care for terminally ill people in their own homes, so Mecca Bingo was extremely ecstatic when they managed to raise 12,000 for the Marie Curie Cancer Care.

In order to celebrate this achievement, Mecca Bingo picked up one lucky member to attend an all expenses VIP night at the Mecca Oldbury Club to present the cheque to Marie Curie. That lucky player was Wendy Hill from Sutton Coldfield who was happy to say: "When my other half, Jon, told me that I'd been contacted by Mecca Bingo and my name had been drawn to represent them at a charity event, I was stunned. An all expenses paid night for four at Mecca Oldbury was a girl's dream come true - I didn't find out about the karaoke until later, which was just the icing on the cake."

She continued to say: "As we readied ourselves for an evening of bingo, outfits were selected carefully and knowing that our picture would be taken, a visit to the hairdressers was a must! After much preparation, we arrived at Mecca Oldbury it's very pink! We were greeted by Bingo Dave and the team and introduced to Marie Curie volunteers, Trevor and Eileen Hall, before being shown to our table, which was covered in balloons and bubbly. We had pictures taken with Trevor and Eileen to mark the occasion, before sitting down to play bingo with our electronic boards. Mecca Oldbury is so big I was amazed! The Club has the usual bingo hall as well as a lounge area which was more relaxed. The latter area is where our table was located and enabled us to have a chat whilst we were playing. Oldbury had so many slot machines, the choice was amazing."

A very satisfied Wendy concluded by saying: "The bingo soon came to an end with no main session winners on our table. Jon, however did win the interval game and Bingo Dave won a line in the late session, the winnings of which he donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care so that's 12,020 now raised! The evening was not over by any means, however, and we were soon given books and forms in order to select a song for the karaoke. We also got to play a karaoke version of bingo where I won an Ethch-a-Sketch of all things and some Mecca Bingo vouchers, which were promptly spent on Saturday at our local Kingstanding Club. The evening was great. We had such fun and all for a good cause. Once again, thank you to everybody involved."
