Chicago – On Saturday, November 7, 2015 Catholic Charities of The Archdiocese of Chicago’s Junior Board will host the 9th Annual Charities Royale Casino Night at Revel Downtown in the heart of Chicago. From 7:30-11:30 p.m. some of Chicago’s finest young adults will enjoy gaming tables, as well as hors d’oeuvres and a premium open bar. Proceeds from the Casino Night benefit the critical Catholic Charities Emergency Assistance Department. Every 30 seconds someone turns to Catholic Charities for help and often their first need is with the Emergency Assistance Department, which provide individuals and families in crisis with food, clothing, and financial assistance and then helps them address barriers to self-sufficiency.
Guests will have the chance to try their hand at including Blackjack, Roulette, Money Wheel, and Craps as well as take turns snapping photos in a photo booth. Outcast Jazz Band, Chicago’s premier swing band will provide live entertainment for the night and a silent auction and Grand Raffle will take place throughout the evening.
