Casino Night

Saturday, February 22, 2025
Doors open at 5:30; Gaming from 6-9pm
FOP Lodge, 1525 Shelby St, Indy 46203

February is cold and dreary, so let’s heat things up with a Vegas VIP night! We will be hosting our first event of the year with casino gameplay (blackjack, craps and roulette).

How can I play? For your $100 donation, you will get 500 in chips for gameplay. There will be no “winners” for the evening, the gameplay is our entertainment for the night and all funds will go to the medical bills for fosters in 2025.

But, can I win something? Yes! We will have a 50/50 raffle, some other great premium raffle prizes, and a wine/spirits pull. So you can go home with a great prize, just not from the gambling tables.

What else? We’ll have some great food and a cash bar, and you can mingle with your fellow Lab lovers.

Thank you to our Lifesaver Lab Champion Sponsor!
