This year’s event marks the fifth time TU has held a Casino Night fundraiser. All proceeds from the event go toward scholarships at Thomas University.

“The Casino Night events are always a great way to have fun while supporting a great cause,” said Grady Enlow, TU’s Vice President for Institutional Advancement. “Attendees always have a great time and enjoy the opportunity to see old friends and win prizes while helping TU students.”
Thomas University officials say a few sponsorship opportunities are still available with packages ranging from $250 to $1,500 with various benefits for each level. For more information, contact Ashlund Edwards at 229-227-6903 or advancement@thomasu.edu.
