Gaybingo Fabuloso!

Posted on 19. Apr, 2010 by TEA Fund in news

Join us for Gaybingo Fabuloso! on 24 April to play bingo and raise money and awareness for the TEA Fund and social/health services for the GLBTQ community!

What is it?

Gaybingo is more than a series of number-calling bingo games. Gaybingo Dallas is hosted by two of Dallas’ funniest ladies, Kerri Oki and Vanna T. Brown, and features the BVD’s (Bingo Verifying Divas). Each GayBingo features a theme to dress for, special guests, surprise entertainment, a raffle and of course 15 fun bingo games — but NOT ordinary bingo games! Check out the Gaybingo YouTube channel for a taste of what it’s about.

Gaybingo is a monthly event put on by the Dallas Resource Center, which provides health, social, and community services for GLBTQ people and for families living with HIV and AIDS. Every month, they partner with a “50/50″ group — another local community group that helps to publicize Gaybingo, helps run the event, and earns funds from the proceeds of the raffle at the event. For April (the 24th) the TEA Fund is that partner!

How can you participate?

1. Make a donation of $26.50 to the TEA Fund through PayPal and the TEA Fund will provide you with a ticket to Gaybingo on April 24th. Just visit our Donate page and click Donate Now to make the donation. (If you’d rather pay by check, no problem! Contact Sulan Chang, TEA Fund President, at sulan@teafund.org.) NOTE: YOU MUST BE 21+ TO PLAY GAYBINGO.

2. Volunteer your time to help work at Gaybingo. The TEA Fund needs 12 volunteers, and we’re still looking for a couple more. This will take place April 24th at the Rose Room, and volunteers must arrive no later than 4:30 pm to help set up/sell raffle tickets, and stay to help clean up after the event. If you want to volunteer, please contact Meredith at meredithmcq@gmail.com to sign up!

3. Buy $1 raffle tickets at Gaybingo. Heck, we can even sell you some in advance (contact maia@teafund.org)! The TEA Fund is the beneficiary of the raffle (splitting the take with the winner), so you get a chance to win cash for supporting reproductive justice!
