Cansa bingo night raises funds for cancer patients

The participants were required to pay R20 for the bingo game, and everyone who won got some awesome prizes.

Cansa Mpumalanga hosted a lively bingo night at Del Forno to raise funds for cancer patients. The event, which formed part of the Relay For Life fundraiser, brought the community of eMalahleni together for an exciting evening on July 17.


Participants were required to pay R20 per game, with each round offering awesome prizes and lots of laughs.


“As the balls rolled out and markers crossed out the numbers one by one, we most certainly had great fun in raising much-needed funds for a good cause,” Andries du Preez of Cansa Mpumalanga said. “Funds raised by Cansa are primarily channelled into research, patient care, screening and education initiatives across SA so that no one faces cancer alone.”


Du Preez thanked everyone who contributed to the success of the event, particularly the volunteers, Koos Coetzee and Ria van der Merwe, who played a key role in organising it.
