We've got spirit, yes we do, we've got spirit (and bingo) how about you?! It's like so high school...jocks, geeks, artists, oh my. Bingo A-GoGo’s “High School Bingo” takes center stage at the Hyatt Minneapolis on Saturday, October 1. The event raises money for Park House and the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus.

Bingo A-GoGo is hosted by the fabulous Miss Richfield 1981 and her trusty sidekicks Barbie Q, Gosh Alice Jones and Mrs. Margie Pederson.

Attendees have a plethora of opportunities to have fun at Bingo A-GoGo:

• Enjoy live entertainment

In 2011Park House(a day health and mental health facility for people living with HIV/AIDS), andThe Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus (a GLBT outreach organization) need funding more than ever. To date, Bingo A-Go-Go has raised over $500,000 by producing 26 fun-filled nights of bingo in just nine years. These funds have enabled the beneficiaries to continue to provide top rate day health services to residents and clients and provide educational outreach throughout the community. Thanks to the support of our compassionate and generous sponsors and raffle prize donors, they are able to keep our cost of fundraising below 15%. In spring 2011, Bingo A-GoGo attracted over 850 people playing bingo for a great cause.
