It’s not just a night of fun, it’s a powerful step towards building a brighter future for community members who need us the most in Broward County. “With the invaluable support of those who share our vision, we can create real change and foster a community where homelessness, hunger, and poverty are no longer barriers to a better life.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy various fun games during the cocktail reception at 6 p.m. as they step into the recreated world of a glamorous high-stakes casino. The event will feature live and silent auctions, with unique items for bid. Live entertainment and dinner will follow at 7 p.m. for an unforgettable evening. The event is black-tie-optional, and tickets are priced at $250 per person. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for those looking to support this worthy cause.
