1. How do I buy tickets?
Tickets can be purchased by registering HERE. Tickets are $150 per person through December 31, 2019; $175 per person thereafter. VIP After Party tickets are an additional $50.
2. How does the casino night work?
Event attendees will receive $5,000 in funny money when checking in at the event and may then exchange that funny money at gaming tables for chips to play. Games will include Blackjack, Craps, Poker, and Roulette. At the end of the evening, you will redeem your remaining chips for raffle tickets. There will be several raffle drawings, so the more raffle tickets you earn, the more chances you will have to win. Guests will have the opportunity to select which prize(s) they want to try and win by placing their raffle tickets in jars associated with available prizes! In addition to the raffle, the overall top chip-earner at the end of the evening will receive a grand prize-- stay tuned for details.
3. What if I spend all of my funny money and want to gamble more?
If you run out of funny money, there will be roaming cashiers inside the ballroom from whom you can purchase additional funny money that can be exchanged for additional chips.
4. What if I am not the gambling type?
This is a fun, lively event with something for everyone. There will be great food, open bar and great company. In addition to gaming, there will be a DJ, fabulous silent auction, raffle, gift card pull, wine pull, photo booth and more.
5. What can I expect at the silent auction?
There will be many great items on which to bid! The auction will include amazing getaways, unique sports and entertainment experiences, restaurant gift certificates, wine tastings and other unique experiences, sports memorabilia, toys, games and books for kids, theater tickets and gift baskets in spades.

8. Who benefits from Casino Night?
All proceeds benefit The Cure Starts Now Cancer Foundation (a 501c3 federal non-profit), which is one of the only cancer foundations dedicated to a “homerun” cure for all cancers, starting first with one of the deadliest and most difficult cancers: pediatric brain cancer. Many experts believe that the lessons we learn from fighting pediatric cancer may, in fact, provide us the critical first step in winning the battle against all forms of cancer, both pediatric and adult. This is our chance to gather together as a community and help fund critically necessary research to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer.
