Bingo This Saturday!
Posted by on 28 March 2019
Mental Health is just as important as physical health, yet it's not always recognised. We plan on continuing to raise awaress and provide support for an increasing issue and hope that one day, the stigma of mental health will reduce. Will you help us?
This season saw the club introduce a new scheme, where in each hockey season (September-April) we will chose a campaign and an interlinking charity to fundraise and raise awareness for alongside our club. The money we raise could help change a life and provide that all important help and care so desperately needed. By selecting a charity each season we are going to help more people in need likewise, spreading awarenss not only in our club but the wider community.
We will conclude our Mental Health campaign with our last fundraiser for this season this Saturday (March 30th - 6pm at Carmarthen Athletic Rugby Club). Due to the success of our Bingo last February, we've decided to bring it back in the hope that this will be even bigger and the hope we can finish with another full house!!
Our event is open for everyone to join and have fun with a charge of £5 per bingo book, Due to the high generosity of our memebers and companies there will be two raffles!! We will have a regular raffle at the cost of £1, then we will be having a special raffle at the cost of £2 per strip for some huge prizes!!
For each round of bingo (5 rounds) there are a range of prizes for those who win a 'line'. Then for those lucky people who win a 'full house' they will be able to win,1 out 5 of our luxurious hampers!!
Once the 5 rounds of bingo have been completed, we will have a flyer round. This will be an extra cost of £2 for those who want to win a prize worth £150. This has been kindly donated by; Days Motor Group.
Mental health is becoming an increasingly common issue in today's soceity affecting thousands of people worldwide. We previously fundriased for MIND Cymru last February 2018 - Bingo, November 2018 - Pub Quiz which leads us to conclud in March 2019 - Bingo. There have been several interclub fundriasers within these dates. However, it was our first ever fundraiser in February 2018 that made us want to do more to help make a difference. From what we've seen and expereinced through our contact with Mind Cymru, they are the best people locally working towards aiding mental health in the area, alongside smaller charities such as; Get The Boys A Lift with whom we've kitted our team out with training tops.
It's small events like these with the support of others that keep charities going!
So the question is, will you help us make a difference?
