Vets Auditorium was rocking and rolling on Saturday night, March 19, as over 500 guests enjoyed the Culver City High School Booster Club’s ninth annual Casino Night.
The event raised a record $50,022, with additional money coming in daily. With expenses of less than $3,500, Culver City High School teams and clubs will share $46,500 in proceeds.
This year’s event eclipsed last year’s total income by more than $10,000
With food donated by Red’s Flavor Table, Victor Jr.’s, LaRocco’s, Honey Kettle, Campos, I Luv Sushi, Outdoor Grill, Panera Bread, Pei Wei, Pieology, Plant 47 Pizzeria, Santa Maria Barbecue, Satomi Tanahara, The Good Pizza, and Sorrento Italian Market, beer and wine provided by Golden Road Brewery, La Brea Liquor, Lagunitas, Torrance Circle K, Sorrento’s, Joxer Daly’s and Security Service Systems, the crowd was well fed, well lubed, and ready for fun.
Guests tried their luck on 29 blackjack tables, a wheel of coaches, craps and roulette.
When not gambling, guests indulged in the Cheers dessert table, and freshly made donuts from Dazzling Donuts. When not gambling, patrons purchased tickets for a chance at a massive discount from Culver City’s newest orthodontist, Dr. Ryan McComb. They bid on 400 live and silent auction items. Bid they did.
The Booster Club wishes to thank Dan Hernandez and the entire staff of the Culver City Parks, Recreation and Community Services Dept. for providing an incredible venue and an amazing support staff. One hundred volunteers helped to make this year’s event not only the most profitable in history, but also the most fun.
Next year’s event will be held in March 2017, with an exact date to be determined shortly
