This event continues to be so much fun that we’re bringing it back one more time!
On Saturday, November 7, we’ll host our 4th Annual Casino Night Gala Fundraiser at Redner’s Event Center at FirstEnergy Stadium. Join us from 6–10 p.m. as we eat, dance, and play the night away—all for a great cause: elevating education in Exeter!
This year, we are proud to honor John and Amy Lutz. John, a 2000 Exeter graduate, is the owner and supervisor of Lutz Funeral Home, a local staple that has supported our community for more than 140 years.
Amy—adopted by Exeter by way of Indiana—served as ECEF’s first executive director. She played a pivotal role in shaping ECEF into the organization it is today by expanding its presence in the community, introducing new programs and opportunities, and laying the "foundation" for its continued growth and success.
Together, John and Amy’s support has been a game-changer for ECEF and our ability to support Exeter students and schools.
Tickets are on sale NOW for adults 21 and older! Tickets are $125 per person through October 7, 2026, and will increase to $150 after that date.
