Over 450 local business leaders and community members attended BSAC\u2019s Annual Casino Night on Friday, March 29th, and boy, what a night it was! BSAC was able to raise over $63,000 in scholarship support for families in need of financial assistance. These children will now be able to participate in programs including swim lessons, summer camp, after-school, TRIDENT (special needs programming) and many of our other great programs.<\/p>\n
The night was highlighted by amazing food, cool casino games, a great silent auction, lots of dancing and a ton of fun. Making the night a huge success were several giving businesses that BSAC would like to thank.<\/p>\n
