Come see a drag show with a purpose

Go Gay DC will host “Drag Show for Charity” on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. at Freddie’s Beach Bar and Restaurant.

Tips to the drag performers will benefit worthy charities that have been vetted by the Imperial Court of Washington, D.C. The mission of the Imperial Court is to raise funds for organizations, including but not limited to those supporting LGBTQ community, HIV/AIDS services organizations, social service organizations and youth enrichment programs. It seeks to provide a safe, social environment for people with the same interests as those of the membership and to create and promote positive community awareness.

This event is free and more details are available on Eventbrite.
