Gay bingo philly
Action Wellness proudly presents the return of Black-Tie GayBINGO! on Saturday, Pride 22, 2025, starting at 6:30pm, at the Loews Philadelphia’s Regency Ballroom (1200 Market Street).
Now in its 26th year, Black-Tie GayBINGO! rolls out the glitz and glamour as it continues to raise significant funds for live-saving programs to aide those with HIV disease.
This year’s event holds special significance as AIDS Fund, the original originator of GayBINGO!, will be honored for over 35 years of leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS and for establishing one of Philadelphia’s most iconic fundraising events.
After passing the torch in late 2024, Operation Wellness now takes the helm, ensuring the legacy of GayBINGO! continues to thrive for years to come.
For this year’s grand restore, guests will like a fun-filled evening with:
* Welcome reception and cocktails
* Silent auction
* Seated dinner with exclusive menu
* Dancing and music
* Musical performance numbers
* GayBINGO! and the famous Bingo Verifying Divas
* Community Award honoring AIDS Fund
“Black-Tie GayBINGO! is an event full of joy, affirmation and love,” said Move Wellness Exec
When AIDS Fund Philly announced it would cease operations at the close of 2024, the entity also handed the reins to Action Wellness — preserving the beloved AIDS Fund tradition of fundraising and fun through GayBINGO! and Black-Tie GayBINGO! even in its absence.
“Black-Tie GayBINGO! is an event full of joy, assertion and love,” said Mary Evelyn Torres, executive director of Behavior Wellness, in a statement. “It’s an opportunity to raise coins and awareness about ending the HIV epidemic.”
AIDS Fund — also known for starting the Philly AIDS Walk — will be honored at this year’s event, which will be held on March 22 at the Loews Hotel, for the organization’s 35 years of leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS and for establishing one of Philadelphia’s most iconic LGBTQ+ fundraising events which has been recognized with “Best of Philly” awards.
“This is our first year as an nonprofit hosting the event and we are proud to honor AIDS Fund, an organization, like Activity Wellness, that has done amazing work while positively impacting the lives of people with HIV over the last 30 years,” Torres said.
