What do women want? Disco Bingo!
IT was eyes down for 300 bingo players who danced the night away in aid of East Cheshire Hospice.
The girls took part in Disco Bingo organised by the What Women Want (WWW) fundraising group at Tytherington School.
The game sees players waiting with bated breath for numbers which trigger a disco classic to get them on their feet and earn them a prize in the process.
All brought bottles which filled a wheelbarrow and buckets of booze and by entering into the party spirit they raised a staggering £6,000.
Jayne Carter, chair of WWW, said: “A special night showed once again how we put the fun into fundraising.
“The place was bouncing, everyone had a wonderful time and we’d like to thank everyone for their generosity.
“Special thanks must go to our sponsors Arighi Bianchi, The Beauty Bar, Pam Hulme Accountants, Anna Carey and Alice Cartwright.”
Jayne and pals Julie Barnes, Jo Millward, Elaine Burgess and Jill Harding make up WWW who have raised almost £300,000 for the Hospice.
The proceeds most recently funded a car supplied by Ford dealers Sidney Jackson which will maintain the vehicle for its lifetime.
It provides vital travel for the Hospice @Home service.
Highlights of the WWW calendar include fashion shows featuring models who have faced cancer and a glitzy Ball which returns in late 2020 after a year’s break.
Events have been sponsored by Adlingtonbased packaging firm Proseal which earlier this year donated £1m to the Hospice.
