The Family Shelter of Southern Oklahoma will host its 11th Annual Casino Night Fundraiser on Friday, March 27, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., inviting the community to enjoy a lively evening of games, prizes and entertainment while supporting a meaningful cause.

Early bird tickets are $100 per person, with admission $125 at the door. Each ticket includes startup play money so guests can try their luck at the tables throughout the evening.
Prizes include an airboat tour on the Red River, televisions, a kayak, tattoo gift certificates from Mount OlympusTattoo,ticketstosee comedian Matt Rife, a $500 gift certificate to Murray on Main, and many more items. Door prizes will also be given away throughout the evening.
“Casino Night is always a fun evening for the community, but it also plays a vital role in helping us continue our services,” said Kathy Manning. “We invite everyone to come out, enjoy the games, and help support victims and families in southern Oklahoma.”
Even those who prefer not to gamble can still enjoy the evening’s food, drinks, social atmosphere and prizes.
Last year’s event raised $80,000 to help fund the shelter’s programs and services, and Manning hopes this year’s event will make an even greater impact.
