Charleston Gay Bingo

Charleston Gay Bingo

Charleston Gay Bingo is a fundraising event for Palmetto Community Care, which fights the AIDS/HIV…read moreepidemic locally and provides LGBTQ+ affirming primary care, STI testing, and counseling. I've attended Gay Bingo three times (2017, 2018, and 2022). Each time, one of the most well-known drag queens in SC, Patti O'Furniture, has emceed the event. Patti has been a drag queen for over 20 years, and if you haven't seen her perform, you must! When I was in college, she was performing in my local LGBTQ+ bar- the first drag show I attended. I'm glad she's helping raise funds and awareness still today. Since the event has grown in recent years, it's moved from downtown to the North Charleston Colosseum. The new location is much larger, which lets more folks attend and lets folks spread out a bit. This venue had the stage in the middle of the arena, so everyone got a great view of the show. Drag Queens, BVDs (Bingo Verifying Divas), and folks in costume walk around and will pose for pictures with you. At Gay Bingo, the winner is never a straight line, and the prizes are incredible. Hotel stays, gift cards for specialty restaurants downtown, concert tickets, a 50/50 raffle, and a free table for next year's event are some of the fun prizes. Your entry fee covers the first set of cards, and you can purchase more cards for more chances to win. We played six bingo games, so each game's winner received a package of multiple prizes worth hundreds of dollars. I haven't been lucky enough to win, but everyone got a rainbow fan and lip gloss to remember the night. The takeaway program is also a nice keepsake with information about Palmetto Community Care, Avita Pharmacy, Truesdale Medical Center, sponsors, and more. The 2022 event was the first since 2019, due to the COVID pandemic. I appreciated that proof of vaccination or negative test was required as well, especially since this event benefits a healthcare focused charity. The four bars served simple drinks that were easy to make quickly and kept us all "hydrated" so we didn't miss any bingo numbers. Whether you win a prize or not, you'll leave Charleston Gay Bingo with great memories. Put it on your calendar next year, because it's a fun night out for adults of all generations, and you'll help a worthy cause.

Great time at this fantastic event celebrating our diversity and raising funds to fight HIV/AIDS,…read moreand assist with community support and awareness!

What a great thing! Local non-profit who provides clean water solutions both stateside and abroad…read more Many third world countries are so much better off due to the interventions of Water Mission. Reducing the death rates and spread of disease, all while providing good, clean drinking water. Really, what more can you ask for? I know...third world problems. We just don't know how good we have it here in the states. Anyway, I digress. This company was started by a couple who felt compelled to help the world. They operated an environmental engineering company and started Water Mission almost 20 years ago. They are a Christian based ministry who seek to serve all peoples around the world. I have seen their work first hand. After Hurricane Matthew devastated many areas down in the Atlantic and Caribbean, I went with a disaster relief team to Haiti to assist in the recovery efforts. Water Mission had already been working to install wells in a remote section of the South Western peninsula. They prioritized this effort after the hurricane struck. I had the fortunate pleasure to witness these wells in operation during my time there. This community was less affected by some of the diseases witnessed in other areas of the country due to these efforts. The international headquarters are located in an industrial part of North Charleston. They hold an open house at least yearly, along with many educational opportunities. They are always in need of volunteers if you feel so inclined. This is a great example of how a call to action can save lives and make our world so much better. Please participate and support this wonderful cause. You'll be glad you did.

Lowcountry Local First's efforts have helped shift the balance of national franchises with locally-owned businesses. Their work is why the streets of Charleston look like Charleston and not a generic American city. I know that my membership and donations go towards supporting a movement to help keep Charleston Charleston. This organization provides a broad group of services to support Charleston's economy. There's the "Buy Local" movement, with awareness campaigns, research studies, marketing, etc. They also do a LOT of work to help us eat locally-grown food by creating an incubator farm (called DirtWorks) , a farm apprentice program, farm tours, "eat local" month, and more. They put on the Chef's Potluck, which is a fantastic event at Middleton Place each year that pairs top local chefs with farmers to create table after table of small plates with all local ingredients. The new LocalWorks office provides budding entrepreneurs or at-home workers a place to co-work in a beautiful environment with lots of shared office services and help promoting those businesses. Plus, the monthly member mixers are fantastic networking opportunities for my small business! What would Charleston be without LLF?
