Charles Murphy of Raise Up says all the proceeds go toward local LGBTQ groups and marginalized populations. He says Bingo is just one of the drag events they’ve got set for the summer.
He says they have two drag storytimes, ‘Reading Isn’t a Drag’, at the Mews Centre on July 12 and on the day of the pride parade on July 14
