Gay Bingo

Event Details

Lowcountry AIDS Services is bringing a marquee fundraising event back to the Lowcountry in August. Gay Bingo will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9 at Memminger Auditorium. This evening of fun and frivolity will pair with an important message: the HIV/AIDS epidemic is still affecting many in our community, LGBT and straight alike.

Gay Bingo will be a signature event on the calendar for 2016 Charleston Pride, a week of special events Aug. 6-14.

Gay Bingo, where the winner is never a straight line and everyone has a ball, will feature local personalities and guests. This year's hostess is Patti O'Furniture, the "Camp Queen of the Carolinas," who performs regularly at Dudley's on Ann in downtown Charleston.

The theme for the evening is "That 70s Bingo: It's Not Your Grandma's Game!" and costumes are encouraged. The evening will include special lip sync performances by Patti O'Furniture, six games of bingo with fabulous prize packages for winners, a raffle, special guests, local beer, food trucks and more fun than any other game of bingo in town.

Early general admission tickets are $20 through June 30; then $25 for advance general admission tickets. Reserved tables, VIP tickets, host committee tables and sponsorship are all available.
