2022 GAY BINGO RECAP

We are so thankful for all those that came out last year to Pajama Rama Bingo. You all did not disappoint and it was one hell of a slumber party! What a night!!!

Thank you to all our sponsors, attendees and volunteers that made this the best Gay Bingo Charlotte yet!

Here is a little recap from all the fun we had in 2022.

FIFTH ANNUAL BVD CAR WASH

Sunday, September 24
2:00 to 5:00 PM

Resident Culture PLAZA MIDWOOD
2101 Central Avenue

You're dirty and we like it so come get your car washed on Sunday, September 24 by your favorite BVD (Bingo Verifying Diva) and help us raise money for RAIN!

The BVD Car Wash is an afternoon of suds and fun while the BVDs give you an "OK" car wash - let's be honest, they are "pretty" but not always great at the details. Get your car washed by making a donation and stay for the entertainment, your favorite tunes, beer and food.

Mimosa LaBouche will be out there with her mega phone ready to give the BVDs instructions or just make them break out in dance - you never know what will happen. It's the best thing to do after church and we can't wait to see you Sunday, September 24!

INAUGURAL CAR WASH BRUNCH

Sunday, September 24

11:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Resident Culture SOUTH END
332 W. Bland Street

Kick start your Sunday Funday with Onya's Car Wash Drag Brunch at Resident Culture SOUTH END. Featuring some of Charlotte's best entertainers including Mimosa LaBouche, Nova Stella, Jaysin Waterfalls, Buff Faye, Lilli Frost, and Onya Nerves!

Tickets cover your entry and 100% will go towards Gay Bingo Charlotte's fundraising which benefits RAIN! Food, drinks and gratuity are an additional cost.

PRESENTED BY:

A BVD is a Bingo Verifying Diva who has agreed to volunteer their time to support RAIN in the form of dressing in drag. That's right, you heard it correctly - they are dressing in drag to raise money to fight stigma and to end HIV in our community!
Each volunteer has committed several months of their time to learn dance routines and to fundraise on behalf of RAIN. This is a volunteer opportunity like no other.
Gay Bingo Charlotte is not your typical fundraising event in Charlotte - it's a thrilling and unorthodox experience that breaks away from traditional fundraisers. Our primary mission is to promote HIV awareness in an engaging and imaginative manner, and we won't stop until new cases are a thing of the past.
Through the unwavering support of our attendees and sponsors, Gay Bingo Charlotte has raised over $1.6 million and counting. These funds directly contribute to RAIN's essential HIV services and programs in the Charlotte metro area.

Join us for an evening that transcends boundaries, celebrates diversity, and makes a genuine difference in our community. Let's come together and create lasting impact until HIV is a thing of the past.
