Vegas Night Benefits Ronald McDonald House: Nov. 15
The 4th Annual "Vegas Night" fundraiser will take place on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago Hotel in Alsip, Ill
The 4th Annual “Vegas Night” fundraiser – a benefit featuring casino gaming, live entertainment, raffle prizes and a silent auction – will take place on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago Hotel in Alsip, Ill. Proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House® near Advocate Children’s Hospital, which allows 16 families of critically ill children to find a ‘home away from home’ just steps from their child’s hospital bedside.
Casino games will include black jack, poker, roulette and craps, and participants have the chance to win incredible raffle prizes, including a free flight on Southwest Airlines.
“There’s definitely something for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re a seasoned card player or you just want to take a spin at the roulette table and peruse the silent auction,” said Kim Cunningham, Director of Brand Management at Florida Plastics, International and Vegas Night Event Sponsorship Chairman.

A BIG MONEY Split-the-Pot raffle will also be held. Last year’s winner took home $4,400.
“You don’t have to be present at the event to win the BIG MONEY Split-the-Pot raffle,” said Cunningham. “It’s another way that our local community can support the event and help us realize our mission to keep families close during their child’s hospitalization. Proceeds from Vegas Night are essential to the operation of our House, and we hope to have many of our friends and supporters from the Southland join us on November 15.”
