Prilosec OTC Bunco Championships 2008, Las Vegas
Prilosec OTC Bunco Championships 2008 - Las Vegas
Bunco players from all across the United States gathered March 7th - 9th for the 2008 Prilosec OTC Bunco Championship at Caesars Palace - Las Vegas. More than 2000 people rolled the dice and screamed "let's go bunco" for a chance to win the top prize of $50,000 and title of bunco champ. Before the Championship, Prilosec OTC sponsored a Charity Challenge prior to the event giving bunco players the opportunity to win a trip to the Championship by raising the most money for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The Bunco Babes from Florida raised more than $4,400 for BCRF and won the grand prize trip, including a reception with country singer Naomi Judd, an avid bunco player.
In addition to the Charity Challenge, all proceeds from the weekend's product sales - t-shirts, memorabilia, raffles, bunco kits - were donated to the Foundation. Overall, Prilosec OTC's efforts raised an amazing $64,686 for BCRF.
