Bingo hall supports cancer charity
A bout of yellow fever is taking over Mecca Bedford as team members get ready to support Marie Curie Cancer Care’s Great Daffodil Appeal this March.
Mecca is supporting the charity’s annual flagship fundraising appeal for the third successive year, and customers are encouraged to wear its yellow daffodil pin in return for a donation to the cause.
The Great Daffodil Appeal is Marie Curie’s biggest fundraising campaign.
General manager for Mecca Bedford, Paul Gregory, said: “My team and I are very much looking forward to once again raising as much money as possible for the Great Daffodil Appeal. I’m sure our caring customers will be right behind us, as they’re always are.”
Christine Brown, community fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care, said: “The Great Daffodil Appeal is the number one event in our calendar and we’re thrilled to know we can rely on Mecca’s support once more.
“Customers and team members across North London/East Anglia/South West were brilliant fundraisers last year and I hear they’re ready to go all out again this March, which is fantastic news as every penny counts and helps us make a difference to local people with a terminal illness and their families. ”
Daffodil pins can be picked up from Mecca clubs, local stores, Marie Curie volunteer collectors and Marie Curie Shops throughout March.
