The Will Clark Show: Cheer NY Bingo!

Cheer New York recently held its semi-annual Bingo fundraiser at the Ritz Bar hosted by Will Clark. We had a blast getting to meet some of our fans, selling Bingo tickets, and raising money for our two charities we are supporting (Art Start & Bronx AIDS Services). As cold as it has been these past few weeks in New York City, we had a surprisingly nice turnout and raised some great money for our two charities in just two hours selling $1 bingo cards.

We are honored to have been the final Bingo event at the Ritz Bar along with Peppermint and Lucky Charming, a “boylesque” performer, who both nearly stole the show with their amazing performances. We are so happy that we had such a wonderful turnout and got to meet many new people and introduce them to Cheer New York and see several of our fans, who are always there to support us. We were even graced by a few of our own potential new members and recruits!

Cheer NY is always happy to have new fans and play Bingo with Will Clark. We hope to see you at the next Bingo event!

Cheer New York & The Will Clark Show

On Wed. Oct 11 Cheer New York teamed up with The Will Clark Show to raise money for The Cheer for Life Fund playing good old fashion BINGO.  
That is, if old fashion BINGO featured booze,  Adult prizes, and some risqué banter from Will and co-host Collin Stone. 

 The team sold $1 Bingo cards to Ritz bar patrons who were treated to off color comedy, Happy Hour specials, and music by DJ Chauncey Dandridge.  Special guest Joe Conti also performed his new single When it Comes to Love (available on iTunes) during a break between rounds.  

Will was a gracious host giving shout outs to the team several times through out the evening and sharing our mission with the crowd.  Thanks to the Ritz, Will Clark, and to everyone who came out and had a great time.  BINGO!!!

Cheer New York's "Cheer for Life Fund" is the beneficiary of this Bingo bar night! Cheer for Life is a fund in which Cheer NY collects donations to help other organizations. In particular, money is raised for adults and/or children’s charities addressing HIV, cancer, MS and other life-challenging conditions to help these valuable organizations thrive and continue to offer their services to the greater NY-NJ community.
