11th February, 2008
Crown Bingo, based in south Benwell in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, is 'showing the love' this Valentine's Day by donating half of their prize pool to the North East Variety Club’s Children’s Charity. The charity, established in 1991, has raised over £16.5 million to provide vital equipment and support for children in the UK.
As one of the UK's leading online bingo sites Crown Bingo have pledged to donate half of all prize pools from games played between 7pm and 9pm on Valentine's Day to the North East Variety Club’s Children’s Charity and another £10 will be donated to the charity for any new participant who signs up and deposits money that night.
New members who play on Crown Bingo and email customer support with the code ILOVEU will also receive a Bingo Bonuses of 10 pounds.
The managing director of Crown Bingo, Dan Smyth said: "We always like to support a local charity and when we heard about the Variety Club's Gold Heart Appeal on Valentine's Day it seemed like a perfect link up."
In return Norman Kaphan, Chief Executive for The Variety Club, said: "Whether raising money to build a paediatric unit, donating a Sunshine Coach to a school or taking a group of children on a fun-packed 'Variety at Work' day out, Variety Club aims to make a real difference. Pledge your support for The Variety Club and buy a gold heart today."
Throughout February Variety Club are selling its Gold Heart badges to raise money to help disabled and sick children in the UK. This is supported by celebrities varying from Ricky Gervais to Myleen Class. These new pin badges are available from 12the February at either the Variety’s website, from retailers WH Smith and Odeon cinemas, and also directly from the Variety club on 0207 428 8118.
