I'm heading to a charity casino night in Exton, PA this Saturday evening at Brian's House Inc.
Brian's House is a non-profit assisting children and adults with developmental disabilities. They provide housing and run a day program where people can do activities, receive training, find jobs in the community, or work inside the program doing simple jobs for pay. My wife is the staff nurse at the day program, and is helping to organize and set up the event.
They're bringing in a caterer and a casino party company to set up poker, blackjack, craps and roulette. Tickets are $40 each or $75 per couple, which includes dinner, the bar, and a live band. (I'm guessing there's a limit at the bar. )
You receive chips, play games for more, then bid your chips on prizes donated by area, regional and national businesses. (North Face kicked in a lot of gear, as did several other large companies.)
The three top prizes will be auctioned silently, while others are open bidding. From what I hear, the top prizes are pretty serious.
Hoping to post pictures here of the actual event, which runs from 6 to 10 pm.
If anyone in the Greater Philadelphia / Southern New Jersey / Delaware area is interested in playing casino games for a great cause, PM me, as we have a few family tickets due to a last minute cancellation.
