Drag Bingo! with Miss Barbie-Q & Mini Horrorwitz - Social & Fundraiser

All proceeds from Drag Bingo! benefit the Trans Equity Scholarship Fund, which provides direct financial assistance to trans and gender non-conforming people navigating the high cost of legal name and gender marker changes in California. This work is tangible, urgent, and life-saving. $25 gets you a single bingo card for each of the 10 rounds of bingo and 10 chances to win one of our fabulous gift card prizes. $50 gets you 30 cards total for the 10 rounds and triples your chances to win!

We are living through a dark and dangerous time for trans people. Across the country, targeted attacks from lawmakers and political leaders are escalating — and the fear is real. But even in the face of cruelty, our community knows how to mine for glitter. This fundraiser is about raising critical funds and creating joy, connection, and resistance through drag, laughter, and community care. The waitlist for these scholarships is long and only growing — and every dollar raised helps a real person move through the world more safely.

This is not your grandma’s bingo (though she is more than welcome)! Expect a dazzling night of drag, laughter, community, and prizes — all in support of trans equity. The iconic Miss Barbie-Q and Mini Horrorwitz will co-host the evening and keep the energy fierce and fabulous as they guide us through 10 rounds of competitive bingo.

Not showing up, but still showing out! - $100

Not at the party, but still bringing the power. Your support will directly help fund the paperwork that protects, affirms, and transforms trans lives. Purchase as many of these as you'd like!

Name-Dropper for Good - $500

Helping trans folks drop deadnames and pick up dignity. This level covers the full cost of one legal name and gender marker change — turning what’s often a painful, bureaucratic hurdle into a powerful act of self-recognition. You’re helping someone claim their true name, walk through the world more safely, and be seen for who they really are. It’s more than just name-dropping - it’s agency, affirmation, and access.

Transcendent Trailblazer - $1,000

Big moves, in legal grooves. This level puts the “F” in fabulous and takes it off the ID, or on it (depending)! This level will fully sponsor two trans individuals to get their legal name and gender marker changed. Includes 10 books of bingo cards, and the knowledge that you've made a significant difference in the lives of two trans individuals in the LA area.

Liberation Architect - $10,000

Because of your generosity, 20 people will walk into job interviews, doctor’s offices, and everyday life with documentation that reflects who they truly are. That means less fear, more freedom, and a stronger future. Includes 20 books of bingo cards, and the knowledge that liberation doesn’t happen by accident — it’s constructed with care, courage, and community - like you!

Huge transcendent thanks to Solidarity Restaurant for generously hosting us!

Let’s come together in joy and resistance to celebrate our community’s brilliance — and fund the work that helps trans people live safer, affirmed, and more supported lives.

See you there — and may the fiercest bingo card win!
