The Boise State University Bisexuals, Gays, Lesbians and Allies for Diversity (BGLAD) chapter is hosting a fundraiser from 6-11 p.m. April 14 in the Student Union Hatch Ballroom. The suggested donation is $5 general and $3 with student ID; donations will entitle holders to chips for games.

The “Birdcage Casino and Lounge” will feature an evening of casino-style entertainment, including games of blackjack, poker, Texas Hold ’Em, craps and Wheel of Fortune. Drag kings and queens are slated to appear, and Boise State rapper KRITIK will give a special performance. A silent auction will include items such as clothing, dinners and more.

Proceeds from fundraiser will benefit the Black Holez Astronomy Club, which is trying to replace thousands of dollars worth of stolen equipment.
