This Friday, Oct. 8, 2021, is the Casino Night fundraiser for Youth Impact in Ogden.
Casino Night Fundraiser Benefiting Youth Impact Ogden
This Friday, guests will walk into the Royal Room at The Monarch head to toe in Gatsby-inspired cocktail attire for the popular Youth Impact fundraiser. Participants are provided with $1,000 in tokens to play at any table of choice — blackjack, poker, roulette — for opportunity drawings and a chance to win prizes. For those who just want to socialize, there will be plenty of room for lounging and mingling since The Monarch is a significantly larger venue than they’ve had in years past. A cash bar with adult beverages, and food served by the kids of Youth Impact, will be offered throughout the night. The money raised for Youth Impact this year will be used to remodel their commercial kitchen. “It is currently a hodgepodge of donated and broken equipment and it has needed serious love for years,” volunteer and event founder/organizer Brenda Gerena said. “Besides feeding the kids daily, the kids have shown interest in learning how to cook. But the space is not conducive to a good working environment, so we have to change that.” This event is almost sold out! Visit youthimpactogden.org to purchase tickets.
Friday, 6:30 p.m.; The Monarch, 455 25th St.; $50; youthimpactogden.org.
