The Indian River County 4-H Foundation recognizes volunteers, donors and patrons who have joined the revolution of responsibility in the local community and believe in the investment in today’s youth. Because of fundraising efforts like the annual 4-H Foundation Casino Night, the Foundation is able to assist 4-H’ers with expenses they incur throughout their 4-H careers. The costs associated with local, state, regional and national level 4-H events can prohibit youth participation despite the opportunities and educational benefits provided.
“The annual 4-H flagship fundraiser is a great way to support the positive development of our youth in Indian River County, while having fun!” says Jennifer Penn, President of the Indian River County 4-H Foundation. “We look forward to bringing our 4-H supporters together to enjoy a “Vegas style” evening of food and drinks, entertainment and amazing raffle drawings while raising money for a cause to benefit our community.
Businesses and individuals have already come forward to sponsor the event or get involved by donating raffle items or their time and services. Sponsorship levels available include High Roller, Royal Flush, Pit Boss, Jackpot and Card Shark. Sponsorships include recognition in all pre-event publicity and promotion at event while higher levels include the opportunity to sponsor a gaming table, receive complimentary event tickets and extra fun money for gambling. High Roller sponsors will even see their logo on the funny money that will pass through the hands of all guests throughout the night.
The Indian River County 4-H Foundation would like to thank the following sponsors for their contributions: High Roller Sponsors: Penn Fence and Woodworks and Ridgeline Roofing.
