Gay Bingo, a marquee fundraising event for Palmetto Community Care, will return on June 13, 2025, at the Charleston Convention Center in North Charleston. This year, everything is included - food and an open bar - as tickets are all-inclusive. Tickets go on sale February 21.
Cocktail hour kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with passed hors d'oeuvres. Then, at 7:00 p.m., as the dinner stations open, the party gets going with performances by Jessica Wild and Bruno Alcantara, as seen on RuPaul's Drag Race.
Plus, Patti O'Furniture will be calling the games, there will prize packages, auction items, cocktails and more. This year's theme is "Love Out Loud!" and guests are encouraged to wear their favorite Pride attire.
All proceeds from the event will benefit Palmetto Community Care’s ongoing mission to provide critical resources for those living with HIV in the Lowcountry by providing free HIV testing, education, and other prevention resources.
“In addition to an evening of fun and entertainment, Gay Bingo also reminds us that the HIV/AIDs epidemic still impacts many in the Lowcountry," said Richard Reams, Director of Development and Marketing for Palmetto Community Care. "At Palmetto Community Care, we are constantly working toward ending this epidemic through testing, prevention, and education –– and our Gay Bingo fundraiser allows us to continue to work diligently toward achieving that goal.”
General admission tickets will be sold for $125 starting February 21 and include an open bar and food from Rosemary and Rye.
For those interested in a premium experience, VIP tables can be reserved for $1,750, including a front-row experience with table service. Reserved tables are also available for $1,250.
