The Winter’s Ball is a special bingo game which takes place at 888ladies at 7pm on 23rd December 2020, in aid of the Dress For Success charity.
About the Charity
Dress For Success is a global organisation, with affiliates in many different countries and cities, whose mission is to empower women to achieve economic independence. Part of what they do is to help women secure employment by providing them with a suitable outfit to wear to an interview and to the workplace, but there’s much more to it than that as they also provide a support network and “the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life”. Much of the clothing comes from donations of lightly used professional attire, but they also need cash donations to help with the support, training and development.
About the Bingo Game
The Winter’s Ball is a 90 ball game with tickets priced at 5p each and a maximum of 96 tickets per player. 888ladies has already pledged to donate £5000 to Dress For Success and will also donate 100% of the ticket sales up to £5000 from the Winter’s Ball. This is much better for the charity than the usual sort of arrangement for a charity bingo game, where it’s just a percentage of the profits that go to charity.
So what can you win? Not money! The whole point of the game is to have fun while raising money for the charity.
Instead, the 1 line, 2 line and full house winners will all receive the same prize – a gift box containing a bottle of champagne and a selection of gourmet chocolates – which will be sent within 2 weeks of the game.
Tickets are on sale now in the “Warmth of Giving” tab in the bingo lobby and because it’s a fundraiser for a worthy cause, the room is cash only – you’ll have to use your bingo bonus elsewhere!
