Sint Maarten, April 14, 2025 – The island sparkled with glitter and pride as beloved local drag performer Mdm. A took the stage at Tortuga Maho for a spectacular Drag Bingo Fundraiser in support of the FREEGAN Foundation. With a crowd of 82 guests, the night was bursting with joy, energy, and inclusivity—and raised an impressive $2,000 for the cause.
Mdm. A not only hosted with flair but also treated the audience to live performances, using her platform to share a powerful message about the importance of queer visibility and community care. Her words resonated deeply, highlighting the essential role of safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people on the island.
“We’re proud to be part of something that brings people together in such a joyful, meaningful way,” Mdm. A said. “Inclusiveness isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lifeline.”
The FREEGAN Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to the community for showing up in full force, and to the generous sponsors who made the event possible: Jax, Klass Electronics, Mr. Chow, Tortuga, Rib Adventures, Roma, Royal Islander, and La Terrasse.
Special thanks go out to Sebastian from Tortuga for always championing inclusivity and being a steadfast ally to the queer community and FREEGAN.
The atmosphere was electric, the vibes unforgettable, and the message loud and clear: everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated.
