The Texas Hold 'Em & Casino Night took place on Thursday, December 8th, 2016 to benefit St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters took place. This year the Sixth Annual charity event found a new home at the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in the heart of Manhattan, NYC.
Scot Pasquale, CFO, Marathon Asset Management was the Guest of Honor while
William "Mookie" Wilson (New York Mets Hall of Fame) and
Arthur Shamsky (New York Jewish Sports Hall of Fame) were our Special Guests. This year,
Bill Evans (meteorologist, WABC) was the Celebrity Auctioneer for our live auction and our friend
Ottis Anderson (New York Giants SuperBowl XXV MVP) was also in attendance.
Fabulous prizes and a delicious buffet set the tone for the evening that featured a Vegas-inspired casino of craps and blackjack. There was also a silent auction that included one-of-a-kind memorabilia provided by
Eagel Sports Promotions. Our Texas Hold'Em tournament was the main draw with our "Final 9" players winning everything from floor seats at Barclays Center for a Brooklyn Nets basketball game to The Lion King Musical tickets. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this (#StFFPcasino) event – we can’t wait to see you at the next one!
