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.
Come and join us for a night filled with exuberance, laughter, and unexpected surprises! This outrageous and unpredictable event promises to keep you entertained with audience participation, captivating performances, over-the-top entertainment, and an array of fantastic raffle prizes. While bingo is part of the excitement, each year, we introduce a new theme and unique set of games and rules, ensuring that every Gay Bingo Charlotte is an unforgettable experience.
It is important to note that this event is not based on luck, and no cash or prizes can be won from achieving an official bingo.
Since its inception with Big Hair Bingo in February 2000, Gay Bingo Charlotte has evolved into an extraordinary spectacle. From our humble beginnings with 100 attendees at the Great Aunt Stella Center, we are now proud to host sellout crowds of 1,300+ at the Charlotte Convention Center.
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 transcend 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.
