Did You Know....?

....that Lifelong AIDS Alliance is the creator and producer of the original Gay Bingo?  Seriously.  Back in 1993, Chicken Soup Brigade’s then-Development Director Judy Werle was brainstorming creative fundraising ideas.

And then BOOM.

Or should I say BINGO?

The first Gay Bingo was born. Even then, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were on hand to hostess, and the rest is fundraising history.

People can’t stop talking about this amazing event, and sometimes even we can’t believe how Gay Bingo has spread over the past 16 years. Now taking place in cities all over the world including LA, New York, London, Melbourne, and Amsterdam, this event has become bigger than we ever could have imagined!

Gay Bingo is everywhere, raising money and awareness in the fight against AIDS.

Now that’s really something to talk about.
