Hibiscus Children’s Center Presents “Viva Las Vegas Casino Night” to Benefit Children
Martin County, FL – Hibiscus Children’s Center hosted the “Viva Las Vegas Casino Night” on November 18th at Mariner Sands Country Club in Stuart. This lovely affair featured incredible raffle prizes and a gourmet dinner followed by guests dancing the night away to the sounds of DJ Brian Lemen. All proceeds directly benefit the abused, abandoned and neglected children living at the Hibiscus Shelter in Jensen Beach and will enhance their lives and help them heal through educational, medical and professional therapeutic services.
The festivities began with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and then guests got the chance to roll the dice in our Casino where they experienced all the glitz, glamour and excitement of Las Vegas! The lucky raffle prize winners took home incredible baskets including Spa, Golf, Bar, Wine, and Dine Around Baskets.
