Bingo players across the UK are joining together in their best bling and favourite denim this weekend as they head to their local Mecca Bingo for a special Denim and Diamonds fundraising event in aid of Carers Trust. Taking place on Saturday 1st October, every Mecca club across the country will be raising money for the charity, with fabulous prizes on offer.
Customers are encouraged to don their denim for the evening, and take part in games to help Mecca raise £60K in 60 days for the charity. Alongside the usual fabulous jackpot prizes, each club will have a sparkling Thomas Sabo bracelet up for grabs.
In addition to all the in-club fun, Mecca has commissioned a unique, customised denim and diamonds themed jacket, with bingo-inspired embroidery design and subtle diamante embellishments. Available for bingo fans to bid on throughout October, the jacket is emblazoned with ‘Bingo Queen’ across the back, while the intricate floral design is entwined with mini bingo balls and references to classic calls including Kelly’s Eye (1), Lucky Seven (7) Two Little Ducks (22), Snakes Alive (55), Bang on the Drum (71) and Queen Bee (73).
Carol Rhead, head of marketing, venues at Mecca Bingo said: “The prizes and the customers will be glittering at Mecca clubs across the UK this Saturday as we raise money to support unpaid carers through our Denim and Diamonds night.
“Our long-standing partnership with Carers Trust is something that we’re very proud of. We can’t wait for everyone to don their denim and best bling accessories and dab their way to help us reach our £60,000 target this Autumn.”
Online players can get a slice of Mecca’s £60K in 60 days action too, by playing selected charity bingo games – Two Little Ducks, Main Event, Penny Lane and Lucky for Some – from just 10p, with 100% of the profits going to Carers Trust.
Since Mecca’s partnership with Carers Trust began in 2014, its colleagues and customers have raised over £3 million for the charity, through activities ranging from bake sales to marathons and charity sky dives.
