Many of you might have watched, as nearly 11,000,000 people did, the recent BBC telecast in TV of their Children In Need fund raising campaign. This year’s drive, according to news reports, is very successful in that people were moved by the noble cause of helping children, hailing from impoverish backgrounds and physically disabled. Result is a staggering £20,000,000 was able to be mobilized by the Charity Institution sponsored by BBC, where many of the Bingo online sites also took part.
Foxy Bingo is popular for their advertising campaigns and with the popularity gained that way they were able to turn on the philanthropic minds of their member players to participate in their exclusive promo to donate funds for this noble cause. On Friday, 14th November, Foxy Bingo ran a special fund raising Jackpot game for Children In Need donation. The Bingo ticket was priced at £1 to play and grab the hefty prize money of £20,000.
What is commendable on the part of Foxy Bingo is they donated the entire collection from their players totally to this Charity, without making a penny out of it. Their site is proud to announce that they were able to donate a handsome £12,951 raised through this special Children In Need Charity Game.
The response for playing this Charity Game from Bingo players emerging from all over UK was remarkable and it showed the heart-rending fact that British people are second to none in extending a helping hand towards Charities of this nature. Pointedly this adds more pep to the act of benevolence, no matter what with the present economic environment the country is reeling under and the financial crunch faced by one and all.
Eventually two lucky winners – milkeyb73 and Bokaru2 – hit the jackpot simultaneously by calling full house and walked away with a bounty of £10,000 each. A good game for a good cause ended with good money for two good charity-minded players!
