    The game of Bingo has always been used as a charity fund raiser, as well as a way to provide an excellent source of entertainment for the community.  In the UK, one in every nine women are diagnosed with cancer, at some point in their lives.  Various charities have been set up to help those who have been affected.  As well as provide the money needed, to continue research, and ensure the information’s available, to help reduce the ‘fear factor’, and promote awareness.  The National Bingo Game has been on the go since 1986, and has always been popular with land based players. They have joined with UK charity, Breakthrough Breast Cancer, to launch a new campaign, called Breakthrough Bingo. Together, they plan to raise money, to help this much needed cause.

    The National Bingo Game is a linked game, offering some HUGE cash jackpots.  Since 1986, it has been played at both Gala and Mecca Halls across the country; as well as a majority of the independent clubs. Gala Bingo dropped the National game a year ago, so they won’t be taking part in the new Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity push. However, as you may know, they have their own campaign running, to support Sue Ryder.  Another admirable UK Charity that offers support and care to those suffering from Cancer and other terminal, or long term illnesses. Gala hope to raise £1Million over the next eighteen months.  

    The special Breakthrough Bingo game is not actually Bingo, it’s an instant scratch card, with cash jackpot prizes available of up to £1000!  Tickets are a pound, and the National Bingo Game will donate 11.5% of every ticket sold, plus any taxable profit, to the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.  The Breakthrough Bingo campaign begins on October 5th, and will run for three months. The National Bingo Game launches this campaign every year, and has raised more than £3Million since 2003. Even so, they need as much support as they can get, and players can give that, in an instant!
