The Arc, Ocean County Chapter, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, recently hosted a highly successful and lucrative casino night fundraiser that raised more than $50,000 for the organization. The event, which was held at a local casino, attracted a large crowd of supporters and donors who came together to show their support for The Arc and its mission to empower individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives.
The evening kicked off with a cocktail reception, where guests mingled and enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and drinks before heading to the gaming tables where they tested their luck at blackjack, roulette, and poker. The casino night also featured a silent auction with a variety of valuable items up for bid, including sports memorabilia, vacation packages, and gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses.
One of the highlights of the evening was the live entertainment, which included a performance by a local band that had guests dancing and singing along to their favorite tunes. Throughout the night, attendees had the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win cash prizes and other exciting prizes, with all proceeds going directly to The Arc.
The Arc, Ocean County Chapter, was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the community and the tremendous success of the fundraiser. The funds raised will be used to support the organization’s programs and services, including vocational training, residential housing, and recreational activities for individuals with disabilities.
“We are thrilled with the success of our casino night fundraiser and grateful to everyone who came out to show their support for The Arc,” said John Smith, CEO of The Arc, Ocean County Chapter. “The funds raised will allow us to continue providing vital resources and opportunities for individuals with disabilities to thrive and achieve their full potential.”
