– Are you and your friends looking to have a great time for a great cause?
Come
join the General Federation of Women’s Club (GFWC) Florida on Monday, September
16, at Hamburger Mary’s in Clearwater for a rollicking evening of legendary
Charity Drag Queen Bingo. Proceeds will benefit Operation Smile, an
international medical charity that has provided hundreds of thousands of free
surgeries for children and young adults in developing countries who are born
with cleft lip, cleft palate or other dental and facial conditions.
According
to Operation Smile, every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip or
cleft palate and many are unable to access the safe, effective surgical care
they need due to shortage of surgeons, medical infrastructure and
affordability. A child’s cleft lip or cleft palate can be repaired for as
little as $240 and in as few as 45 minutes. Your participation will help bring
much-needed surgeries and renewed hope to children and families around the
world.
Join the
hilarious hostess Antwanette for a night of silly, campy fun and help put a
smile on a child’s face! Hamburger Mary’s famed Charity Drag Queen Bingo
isn’t your grandma’s bingo! There will be a bounty of prizes throughout
