TODAY we need you to help us ensure a better tomorrow
Show your support and play Bingo for Breakthrough
Since the launch of Bingo for Breakthrough in 2003 the campaign has raised over £2.25 million, thanks to the dedicated support of customers, staff at bingo clubs and one or two celebrities.
Bingo clubs turned pink for the fifth consecutive year during Bingo for Breakthrough week. Thousands of bingo players grabbed their friends, got their dabbers at the ready and headed down to their local club between 21 – 28th October for a fun packed night of Bingo for Breakthrough.During Bingo for Breakthrough, clubs offered free games for the chance to win fantastic pink prizes, including cheeky Midge the Monkey, this year’s pink mascot. Limited edition pink ribbon dabbers were also available, with a minimum 75p donation going to Breakthrough.
Clubs got into the spirit of the campaign by hosting a variety of fundraising events throughout October, including gunging, fun runs and even sky diving. For more information on how you can get involved next year please call 020 7025 2493 and to find your nearest bingo club visit www.nationalgame.co.uk
This year, once again we invited a whole host of celebrities to Dab-a-Doodle, creating a masterpiece using a selection of colourful bingo dabbers. The celebrities who took up the challenge this year included Lorraine Kelly, Esther Rantzen, Penny Lancaster and Joseph star Lee Mead.
To inspire them we asked them to draw "Things that make you smile". These interesting interpretations were auctioned on eBay from 21-28th October, raising over £500 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
