Mrs Obama's Bingo Raised £20,000 at Gala Bingo

Keen bingo player Kezia, Barack Obama's stepmother, 67, of Bracknell, Berks has helped raise £20,000 for the Sue Ryder Care charity through her galabingo.com game "Mrs Obama’s Bingo" which she launched to celebrate Barack’s success. After only an hour’s play a day for 10 days, Mrs Obama’s Bingo raised getting on for £10,000. As promised, Gala Bingo matched that amount, which means £20,000 will go to Sue Ryder Care charity. “Mrs Obama’s Bingo game was just one of the ongoing activities being undertaken by Gala Coral Group to meet our target of raising £1million by 2010 for Sue Ryder Care.” Sue Ryder Care Chief Executive Paul Woodward said: “We’re thrilled that www.galabingo.com’s recent initiative has raised such a fantastic amount of money for us.   On behalf of the charity, I’d like to extend a sincere thanks to everybody involved, and to www.galabingo.com for their ongoing support.   All monies raised will go directly to helping us continue to deliver expert and compassionate care to people living with conditions including cancer, strokes, Multiple Sclerosis and Acquired Brain Injury.” Kezia was married to Barack's, Barack Snr, a former goatherd from her homeland of Kenya, who was killed in a car crash when Barack was 21. Kezia makes it no secret that she loves playing bingo and has agreed to front the latest Gala Bingo charity promo in aid of Sue Ryder. Galabingo.co.uk is aiming to reach an impressive £1 MILLION by 2010 through this latest promo and 10p of every £1 Mrs Obama Play will go straight to the charity.
