Gay Bingo:  Mid-Fairfield AIDS Project organized and operated its first season of it’s fundraiser “Gay Bingo” from September 2003 to May 2004. A great success for the agency, “Gay Bingo” created an opportunity for local businesses to show their support of the HIV/AIDS community, while gaining exposure for their products and services.

Organizations and businesses were most generous last year, providing prizes and raffle items that helped MFAP raise $32,000. These funds enable MFAP to provide Emergency Financial Assistance and to help fund programs not covered under grants.

For more than 17 years MFAP has been there to help those in the greater Norwalk area living with HIV/AIDS. MFAP works to bring those living with the virus into care and allow access to various organizations, state and federal programs to help reduce the difficulties faced by those living with the virus.

“Gay Bingo” hosted by Sybil Bruncheon and Fabio Gorgissimo, is a fun filled evening of wit, wisdom and winnings! This season kicks off on October 1st. A sellout many times last season, with more than 200 people in attendance, it’s a rousing good time.

Bingo donations valued from $50 and up are won or raffled throughout the evening, with each donor’s name and information read at the time of the game. Additionally, donor’s name and contact phone number are printed on the evenings Bingo Program.

In addition there are portions of the Bingo project that need to be underwritten such as: Pizza at each event, soda, some equipment, decorations and more. A one time donation of money to pay for these items would buy the donor their business logo or banner on the wall for one to ten bingos or the privilege of passing out advertisements of their choosing to all persons at Bingo from one to ten times. We can work out the details of this in person. Please contact  Stuart lane or Megan Cassano.

Donations are tax deductible. MFAP is a federally recognized non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

For more information on donating items, products or services to MFAP’s “Gay Bingo”, please contact MFAP at (203) 855-9585
