National Bingo Day is celebrated on the third Thursday of each November. The holiday is meant to promote fun and gambling in a responsible way.
The day was created in the early 1990s by the World Bingo Association (WBA) as a way to celebrate the national spirit. Today, National Bingo Day is celebrated by many organizations and businesses.
Some of the biggest National Bingo Day celebrations take place in major U.S. cities, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Philadelphia.
There are also events held in smaller towns and villages across the country. In some cases, local bingo halls and casinos offer special deals and promotions specifically for National Bingo Day.
The WBA estimates that National Bingo Day generates more than $600 million annually for U. businesses and charities.
Most of this money goes to support education programs and other charitable causes. In recent years, National Bingo Day has also been used to promote public health initiatives by raising money for cancer research and suicide prevention programs.
