A message from our Director of Advancement, Anna Van Mol
Alexandria Country Day School hosted its inaugural Casino Night Fundraiser on March 31st. After two years of mandated social distancing, guests took advantage of the opportunity to come together in a fun and laid-back atmosphere—no set program and no assigned seats—just games, laughter, and fun for the evening’s guests!

It was an incredible and entertaining evening filled with gaming tables, a silent auction, photo booth, DJ, and delicious food and drinks. Guests hit the tables to test their luck at poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, and the money wheel, which were all provided and professionally staffed by Poker Productions of New Orleans. There was also a VIP area with premium food and drinks, as well as High Roller tables. The revelry ended with a “make it rain” finale of $100 bills for the evening’s top chip earners who had an opportunity to enter the prize room for some fantastic prizes! To quote one guest, “You need to do this again!”

Be sure to mark your calendar when next year’s date is released – this event should not be missed!
