Join us for a night of adults-only fun at the tables on THIS SATURDAY, Oct. 18th while supporting the students of JPII! Ticket holders receive $100 in casino chips, one alcoholic drink ticket, food, and desserts. Additional chips and drinks can be purchased throughout the evening. This event is open to all, so please plan to attend and feel free to bring friends with you who are not affiliated with our school.

We will have seven Blackjack tables, two Roulette tables, one Texas Hold'em table, and a Craps table that will be open from 6:00-9:30 p.m.; then casino chips can be used to purchase raffle tickets (1 ticket for every $10 worth of chips) for fantastic items from local businesses. Raffle tickets can also be purchased at the event; 1 for $5, 6 for $20, 20 for $50, or 50 for $100. Winning tickets will be pulled and announced later in the evening. Silent and live auction items will also be available for higher-priced items.
