Happy Pride!!! As the month wraps up I wanted to shine a little rainbow on those doing the work, like my client Action Wellness. These images are from this year’s recent Black-Tie GayBINGO event, my second time covering the iconic annual fundraiser!
Now in its 26th year, Black-Tie GayBINGO! rolls out the glitz and glamour to raise significant funds for live-saving programs to help those with HIV disease. This year’s event holds special significance as AIDS Fund, the original creator 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, Action Wellness now takes the helm, ensuring the legacy of GayBINGO! continues to thrive for years to come. For this year’s grand return, guests will enjoy a fun-filled evening with a welcome cocktail reception, silent auction, seated dinner, dancing, musical numbers, prizes, and of course, GayBINGO! hosted by Carlota Ttendant with Philadelphia’s famous BVDs (Bingo Verifying Divas).
Thanks to my second shooter, Janean Malloy, for helping cover this beautiful night! Janean’s a talented local photographer you might know, but if you don’t, please check her out here.
