The All Sports Association will host its fourth annual Casino Night + Raffle Royale on Thursday, Oct. 22, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Legendary Marine Showroom in Destin, where one ticket holder will win a $10,000 cash prize.
This year, a single $100 ticket covers the full evening. Each ticket includes dinner by The Bald and Beard Restaurant Group, a casino gaming ticket and an entry into the Raffle Royale drawing.
“Casino Night has become one of our favorite events of the year,” said Drew Armacost, Treasurer of the All Sports Association. “For $100, you get dinner, a night of casino gaming and a shot at $10,000, and every ticket helps local kids who play sports.”
Only 500 tickets are being sold. Six of the tickets drawn will win cash, with the prize amounts growing as the drawing goes on. According to the organization, the payouts are based on all 500 tickets selling:
- First ticket drawn: $100
- 100th ticket drawn: $250
- 200th ticket drawn: $500
- 300th ticket drawn: $1,000
- 400th ticket drawn: $2,500
- 500th ticket drawn: $10,000
Ticket holders do not have to be present to win the Raffle Royale cash prizes.
“You do not have to be in the room to win,” Armacost said. “With only 500 tickets being sold, we would encourage people to get theirs early.”
The evening will also include entertainment, a cash bar and giveaways in addition to the Raffle Royale cash prizes, according to the organization.
The All Sports Association is a local nonprofit that supports youth athletics in Okaloosa, Walton, Santa Rosa and Escambia counties. The organization has operated for more than 55 years and has approximately 150 members.
Proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Club of the Emerald Coast, Eleanor Johnson Youth Center and Special Olympics. The association also fields funding requests throughout the year from high school and middle school sports teams and other nonprofit sports-affiliated organizations.
“Everything we raise goes back to the kids,” Armacost said. “That is why we do this, and it is why our members keep volunteering their time year after year.”
The Legendary Marine Showroom is located at 4601 Legendary Marina Drive in Destin.
