The annual Casino Night fundraiser hosted by the local non-profit organization Families In Crisis was a huge success this past weekend, bringing in a staggering $26,000 to support their mission of helping families in need. The event, held at the prestigious Grandview Hotel and Casino, drew in over 300 attendees who enjoyed a night of thrilling casino games, delicious food, and live entertainment.
Families In Crisis, founded in 2005, is dedicated to providing support and resources to families facing crisis situations such as homelessness, domestic violence, and financial struggles. The organization offers a wide range of services including shelter, counseling, job training, and assistance with basic needs.
The Casino Night fundraiser, now in its tenth year, has become a much-anticipated event in the community. Guests had the opportunity to try their luck at blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps, with prizes such as gift baskets, gift cards, and even a weekend getaway up for grabs. The evening also featured a silent auction with items donated by local businesses and individuals.
“We are so grateful for the overwhelming support we received at Casino Night,” said Sarah Thompson, Executive Director of Families In Crisis. “This fundraising event allows us to continue providing vital services to families in our community who are in crisis. The generosity of our donors and sponsors truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.”
In addition to the casino games and auction, guests were treated to a gourmet buffet dinner and live music from a local band. The event also featured touching testimonials from families who have benefitted from the support provided by Families In Crisis.
The success of Casino Night would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the event organizers, volunteers, and sponsors. Local businesses, community leaders, and individuals came together to show their support for Families In Crisis and their important work in the community.
As the evening came to a close, guests left feeling not only entertained but also fulfilled knowing that their contributions would directly impact families in need. The $26,000 raised at Casino Night will go a long way in providing essential support and resources to those facing crisis situations.
Families In Crisis plans to use the funds raised to expand their programs and reach even more families in need. The organization remains committed to their mission of providing hope and assistance to those facing difficult circumstances, and events like Casino Night play a crucial role in making that mission a reality.
