Barack Obama`s Step-Mother to Launch New Charity Game

Barack Obama’s step mother Kezia Obama is launching a new online charity bingo game to help raise money for Sue Ryder Care. The bingo fan, who is from Bracknell, Berkshire, is to have her own dedicated game called ‘Mrs Obama’s Bingo’ that will feature on the leading gaming site My Anchor Text target=”_blank”> from 14-23 January 2008..

To add to the excitement, Mrs Obama will introduce the game, which will take place between 8pm and 9pm weekdays and 7pm to 8pm at the weekend in the City Club section of Gala Bingo. For every £1 spent on ticket sales for the ‘Mrs Obama Bingo’ game, Gala Bingo, which is part of Gala Coral Group, will donate 10p to Sue Ryder Care.

Gala Coral Group selected Sue Ryder Care as its group charity in July 2008 after an employee vote showed overwhelming support for the charity. Sue Ryder Care provides expert and compassionate care to people living with conditions including Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Huntington’s Disease. Through a number of ongoing initiatives Gala Coral is aiming to raise £1million by 2010 to help the charity continue to provide care that liberates lives in 14 care centres and community-based services across the UK
