Matrons of Mayhem drag bingo to raise funds for pet rescue organization in August
A lively evening of drag, bingo, and family-friendly fun is set to support a local animal rescue nonprofit next month. The Matrons of Mayhem will host their next Drag Bingo night on Friday, August 15, at First Baptist Church, located at 777 S 1300 E in Salt Lake City. Proceeds from the event will benefit Celestial Zoo Pet Rescue.
Founded in 2018, Celestial Zoo Pet Rescue serves the canine and feline populations of Utah County, contributing to the broader “No-Kill Utah” initiative. The organization focuses on adopting out spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped pets and also runs a pet pantry for families in need.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m., with bingo starting around 7:00 p.m. and continuing until about 9:00 p.m. Admission is $5 per bingo card, covering seven rounds of play. Additional fundraising options include “Party Foul Insurance” and the “Flamingo Hat of Shame,” each priced at $5. For $50, attendees can nominate a friend for a lighthearted “Drag-in-a-Bag” makeover during intermission.
The evening will also feature kitchen concessions of hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, and soft drinks for purchase. Organizers note the event is alcohol-free and ATM-free, so guests are encouraged to bring small bills. The event is open to all ages.
