The dice were rolling and the cards flying at Charity Casino Night on July 14th that raised nearly $30,000 for Gulfside Hospice & Pasco Palliative Care.

The Charity Casino Night, held at Gulfside’s clinical office in New Port Richey, kicked off with the announcement that the organization will be naming that location “The Hadley Center” to honor long-time volunteer and supporter Lorraine Hadley and her late husband Larry.

More than 150 people attended the fundraiser and enjoyed playing casino-style gaming, including Blackjack, Poker, Texas Hold ‘em, Craps, and Roulette. There were also tournaments, prizes, mystery wine pull and restaurant roulette, auction items, a photo booth, and live entertainment by Peter Diamond and Blaise Ryndes, who recently appeared on America’s Got Talent.

All proceeds from the event help provide funding for hospice care to Pasco County residents, as well as bereavement programs for the community. For more information about other upcoming events, contact Leesa Fryer, Fundraising Events Coordinator, at 727-845-5707 or leesa.fryer@ghppc.org.
