Mecca Bingo continue to Support Marie Curie
Mecca Bingo continue to lend their support to Marie Curie Cancer Care and they have been doing this through a number of different initiatives, as well as providing a direct link to a special donation (Marie Curie) site, from their homepage.
Despite all the turbulent times the land based bingo industry have been facing, their support for trying to help some very worthwhile charities indeed has never wavered.
Mecca Bingo and the rest of the bingo industry has long been behind helping to raise money for charity and it is great to see this plight go on because without their support some charities would have a much harder time and it would be people who need help the most that would inevitably suffer.
Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing support totally free to people living with terminal illness such as cancer and who choose to die at home. They also lend their support to families and run a number of hospices throughout the UK offering specialist care.
Rank interactive has pledged to raise at least £20,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care in 2010 and they will try to achieve this with the help of their members and staff. Every £20 raised will provide one hour of nursing care and if they reach their target figure this will allow Marie Curie nurses to care for more than 22,000 terminally ill patients. So as they say, every little helps.
When making a donation online you are able to leave a message, which is great for people who want to remember their loved ones, whist giving cash to charity at the same time. The last donation made on the Marie Curie donation page was back in May 2010, from a lady called Susanne. Her message was to her mum and she donated £20. This was then topped up with a gift aid of £5.64.
The online donations do seem to be slacking a bit, with only £65 raised so far online. £250 was raised offline, which currently takes the total up to £315.00, so they really could do with some more support in this area.
