Seeking fund raising ideas for during casino charity events?

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Private Person asked:


We plan to hold several casino themed charity fund raising events and while the majority of funds will come from admission ticket sales, I know that we can do other things during the event to raise funds. For example, we can do 50/50 drawings and silent auctions.

Does anyone have any other ideas that could be done during the casino event to further increase funds raised?

Thanks in advance.
