We are beyond excited to welcome you to our upcoming Casino in Maschera event! 🎭✨
Thank you for being part of this special evening. Your support, enthusiasm, and generosity mean the world to us — and we cannot wait to celebrate with you!
What to Wear – Casino Night Fun!
Think festive, fun, and stylish — but not over the top. This is not a formal gala, so no pressure for ball gowns or tuxedos.
Ladies: Think girls’ night out or cocktail night — a fun dress, chic slacks with a great top, or anything that makes you feel fabulous and festive.
Gentlemen: Slacks with a sport jacket are perfect. Polished but comfortable is the vibe!
Most importantly, we want you to feel confident, comfortable, and ready to have fun. And don’t worry — we’ll provide the masks to complete the Maschera magic!
What’s Included with Your Ticket:
$1,000 in Casino Cash (monopoly-style play money for gaming fun!)
One drink ticket
One raffle entry
Plenty — and we mean plenty — of delicious food to indulge in
Enjoy thrilling casino games, exciting raffle prizes, special dance performances, and a large dance floor where everyone can let loose! We may even throw in a guided line dance or two to get everyone moving. Our teachers will be on hand if you’d like a little extra guidance — or simply jump in and dance the night away.
We’ll also have lots of raffles throughout the evening to help us raise funds and give our guests the chance to win some truly exciting prizes — including a one-week stay at a beautiful villa in Sicily! 🌞🍷 It’s just one of the many incredible experiences up for grabs.
Parking is available onsite for your convenience.
This evening is about more than fundraising. It’s about celebrating you — the friends and supporters who have stood by us for years — and welcoming the new friends who have recently come to believe in what we do. Together, you are the heart of our story.
So get ready to have fun, mingle, play, indulge, dance, and celebrate. Most of all, get ready to celebrate the incredible community that continues to show up, believe in us, and make everything we do possible.
We are so grateful for you. Now… let the games begin! 🎲🎭✨

Your ticket includes one complimentary cocktail of your choice, plentiful and delicious food, casino “funny money” to try your luck at the tables, ballroom dancing with professional instructors, great music, and an unforgettable evening of celebration and community.
Dress is festive, fun, and comfortable — not formal, just fabulous. Think chic, shnazzy, girls’-night-out vibes… or for the gentlemen, a sharp sport jacket with relaxed elegance. You’ll want to feel great dancing, mingling, and placing your bets.
And yes — masks will be available for anyone who wants to turn up the suspense at the tables and keep their poker face perfectly hidden.
Please make sure to “zero” the optional tip at checkout. This is an optional donation to the free platform we are using to help us with this event.
