Monte Carlo Night To Benefit Council Rock Education Foundation

NEWTOWN, PA — Mark your calendars! The Council Rock Education Foundation (CREF) will hold this year's Monte Carlo Night fundraiser on Friday, March 1 at the Fuge in Warminster from 7 to 11 p.m.

The evening will bring the thrill of casino-style gaming to the Fuge with games like Blackjack, Roulette, and Craps. The night also includes dinner, drinks (cash bar), a Yum Yum Donut Station, silent auction, prizes, and lots of fun.

The dress code for the evening is casino chic - dressy casual with a Monte Carlo flair.

"We extend our warmest invitation to community members to join us for this dazzling night filled with casino-style games, delicious food, laughter, and a heartwarming sense of community spirit," said Beth Anne M. Dobosh, executive director of CREF.

There is a suggested donation of $75 per person. Registration includes dinner and $50 in complimentary gaming chips per person. Chips have no cash value but can be traded in for chances to win one of many great prizes. Participants must be 21 to attend.

Proceeds will benefit the students of the Council Rock School District by funding projects and programs aimed at enhancing and elevating educational opportunities.

From immersive virtual reality explorations of ancient Egypt to the establishment of outdoor classrooms that reconnect students with nature and early coding education to prepare children for the digital age, CREF initiatives are diverse and impactful, said Dobosh.

In addition, CREF supports free educational events throughout the community that are open to the public.

"Bring your friends and family along for a night of fun, celebration, and solidarity in support of education in our community.

"Our recent initiatives have made significant impacts, from enhancing STEM learning environments with state-of-the-art autoclaves to expanding mental health resources by expanding a comprehensive suicide prevention program and introducing innovative learning tools like VOX Books to our youngest learners," said Dobosh. "Your support makes all this possible, and together, we can continue to build promising futures for our students."
