Operation Blue Pride will host “Operation Blue Pride Casino Night” on Thursday, March 12, 2015 at the offices of Sullivan & Worcester in Boston’s Post Office Square from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.

Guests will enjoy casino-style gaming with 1,000 casino cash dollars along with light appetizers, complimentary beverages and a silent auction. Free parking will be made available in One Post Office Square Garage and 100% of the proceeds will benefit Operation Blue Pride (OBP), who will then in turn use those proceeds to finance its programs and engage its official partnership with Mass Fallen Heroes.

OBP provides veterans with no cost accessible activities. OBP’s programming and activities include scuba diving and scuba diving certifications, specialty classes, boat dives and the use of scuba equipment through the OBP Equipment Program.
