Mary's Shelter Casino Night Fundraiser

Join us for the 4th Annual Mary's Shelter Casino Night! The evening starts with an open bar (expanded from only beer and wine to full offerings in 2026) and a buffet. Our higher-level sponsors ($2,500+) will have reserved seating, and additional seating and cocktail tables will be available for others in attendance. After about 30 minutes of socializing/eating/drinking, the casino floor opens.
We have several blackjack/hold 'em tables, roulette, two craps tables, and a money wheel. All games are operated by professional dealers who are happy to guide new players. Near the end of the evening, dealers tally each guest's "baby bucks." The top earner receives a trophy and once it’s presented, we draw the name of our grand prize winner.
We have several raffle tables set up around the room for the duration of the evening. We stagger the prize drawings every 30 minutes or so, which encourages ongoing participation. Those who don't win early often purchase more tickets to increase their odds later in the night. Last year we had just over 40 baskets and we are hoping for the same in 2026.
Casino Night has consistently received positive feedback as an enjoyable evening and a welcome alternative to the traditional fundraising dinner. We hope you'll be a part of it!
