October 2009 - Fourth Annual Casino Night
On October 16th, 200 individuals raised $32,000 at the Durand Foundation’s Fourth Annual Casino Night Fundraiser at The Coliseum in Voorhees, New Jersey. This year’s number of attendees exceeded last year’s event participation by 25%. The Durand Foundation is the philanthropic arm for Durand Academy & Community Services, a non-profit organization that provides services to children and adults with autism and other disabilities, as well as their families throughout South Jersey.
The Foundation runs various fundraising activities throughout the year for its benefactors, including an annual Casino Night, which frequently includes celebrity guests like Dave Schultz, two-time Stanley Cup winner with the Philadelphia Flyers and 2009 Flyers Hall of Fame inductee. The Foundation has held celebrity events with Andrew Firestone, of Firestone Vineyards and “The Bachelor” fame and a book-signing of The Big Moo, by Donna Sturgess, VP of Innovations at GlaxoSmithKline. Participants have found these events not only stimulating, but are gratified by substantially benefiting those in need.
