Bingo for Breakthrough is a national campaign that is supported by the National Bingo Game Association and its sister organisation the Bingo Association to support the breast cancer cause. This event takes place every year and more than four hundred bingo clubs nationwide dedicate a full week to the cause by playing games to win pink teddies and various other fund raising activities. Traditionally Bingo for Breakthrough takes place in October and this year is it scheduled to take place from Sunday 19th – 25th October 2008.
