It’s been three long years, but Gay Bingo is back, and Palmetto Community Care is pulling out all the stops this year!!!

Gay Bingo, presented by Avita Pharmacy – 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!
You read that correctly. Tickets are all-inclusive this year! Cocktail hour kicks us off at 6:30 pm with passed hors d’oeuvres. Then, at 7:00 pm, as the dinner stations open, the party gets going with performances by Jessica Wild and Bruno Alcantara, as seen on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Of course, the lovely Patti O’Furniture will call the games in ways only she can! Toss in some amazing prize packages and auction items, mix your favorite cocktails, and dress in all your favorite Pride attire. We’ll have a good time raising money to help end HIV!
There’s never a bad time to remind each other of what Laverne Cox had to say, “Who you are is beautiful and amazing.” And we’ve got a lot of Pride in this year’s theme – Love Out Loud! There’s no such thing as being extra in June! Tickets go on sale February 21. We can’t wait to raise some money and love out loud together!
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, said Richard Reams, director of development and marketing for Palmetto Community Care. Gay Bingo also reminds us that the HIV/AIDs epidemic still impacts many in the Lowcountry. 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, delicious food from Rosemary and Rye, and all the fun you can stand all night!
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.
