EVENT DETAILS

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.

It is a night filled with loads of laughter and unexpected surprises! This outrageous and unpredictable event promises to keep you entertained with audience participation, crazy entertainment, an array of fantastic raffle prizes and so much more. While bingo is part of the excitement, each year, we introduce a new theme and set of games and rules, ensuring that every year is an unforgettable experience.

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.

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.

Gay Bingo Charlotte stands out because we emphasize community involvement and local engagement over the more typical approach of featuring professional drag queens. Our entertainers are your friends, neighbors and leaders that take the stage to entertain you and help raise money for HIV. This approach also highlights the diversity and richness of our community and offers a unique and inclusive experience.

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 1,500+ at the Charlotte Convention Center.

Through the unwavering support of our attendees and sponsors, Gay Bingo Charlotte has raised close to $2 million and counting. These funds directly contribute to RAIN's essential HIV services and programs in the Charlotte metro area.
