Raising the Stakes for a Meaningful Cause: Our 4th Annual Casino Royale Charity Gala
On Saturday, May 16th, we had the incredible honor of hosting our 4th Annual Casino Royale Gala benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — and what an unforgettable evening it was.
This year’s Casino Royale-themed celebration brought together industry leaders, vendor partners, colleagues, friends, and family from across the country for a night dedicated to community, generosity, and giving back. Hosted at The Celebrations Venue, the evening was filled with energy, excitement, and heartfelt support for a cause that continues to inspire us all.
Guests enjoyed an immersive Casino Royale experience featuring casino games, incredible raffle prizes, live entertainment by renowned magician Jack Velour, specialty cocktails, light bites, and dancing throughout the evening that perfectly captured the energy and excitement of the night.
Most importantly, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we are proud to share that together we raised over $30,000 in support of St. Jude and the children and families they serve.
We are deeply grateful to the many vendors, sponsors, and supporters who contributed to the success of this year’s event.
