Bingo So Pink You’ll be Tickled Pink!

Pink Ribbon Bingo is in the business of supporting charities day in day out, but with the imminent arrival of World Cancer Day, they’re turning up the fundraising volume in a bid to help even more people in 2021. We’re all facing a world of uncertainty at the moment but no more so than those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and one charity in particular is fighting the good fight to ensure life-saving treatments are still flying off the shelves, but they need your help.

Against Breast Cancer has been working tirelessly for years in the hope of producing a vaccine that completely cures breast cancer but it’s no mean feat! It comes with challenges and these challenges need funding and in the world we’re living in now, fundraising has almost stopped! Vital fundraising is not happening due to the earth coming to a complete stand-still, but there is a way you can help – and it involves a bingo dabber!

Important Matter

Pink Ribbon Bingo is to host a 5-hour bingo marathon where tickets will cost no more than 5p each. Between 7pm and 11pm on February 4th, World Cancer Day, the Royal Room will be transformed into a fundraising session for Against Breast Cancer and they’re hoping to raise hundreds if not thousands for the cause! It’s just like playing bingo – you buy your tickets and if you’re lucky enough to win, you win wager-free cash!

A penny from all ticket sales throughout the evening will go directly to charity and the more you buy, the more you’ll be helping out! If this sounds like a virtual fundraising event that you can get onboard with, why not bring your mates too? Newbies who deposit £10 will get to play with £30, but that’s not all! This bingo offer also includes fifty bingo tickets and 50 bonus spins (to play free games) too and everything you win is wager-free! Including the no-fee bingo room!

Now, we all (usually!) have busy schedules and always put off checking our bodies, but it is important to get to know your own body – and not just women either. Breast Cancer can affect both men and women and survival rates are high if you detect a change early enough. Do you know what to look out for? Many people believe the only symptom is a lump, but many lumps are buried so deep inside the tissue that they may not be detected by touch.

According to the NHS, most breast lumps are not cancerous and breast pain is not usually a symptom of breast cancer, but when combined with other factors, it could raise a red flag. How many of the following signs and symptoms do you recognise?

  • A change in the size or shape of one or both breasts
  • Discharge from either of your nipples, which may be streaked with blood
  • A lump or swelling in either of your armpits
  • Dimpling on the skin of your breasts
  • A rash on or around your nipple
  • A change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast.
