On May 19th, 2008 tragedy struck close to home for most of us when the Reis family lost their lives too soon. A memorial scholarship fund was set up in the family’s name for remembrance that is awarded to a graduating Byron-Bergen Student each year. Unfortunately funds have diminished and with this night we plan to contribute to the scholarship so their memory can live on and continue to impact future generations in the Byron-Bergen School District.
This fundraiser is a unique and exciting casino experience. At the end of the evening each individual’s chips can be “cashed” in for tickets to our Chinese auction and a chance to win an assortment of valuable prizes. Space is limited and tickets will sell out quickly!
The event debuts on Saturday Nov. 9 at the Polish Falcons Club at 123 Swan St. in the City of Batavia. Registration begins at 6 p.m. and Casino play will run from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
Cost is $65 per ticket and includes hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
Your sponsorship of, or prize donation, will help bring us one step closer to achieving our goal of ensuring that college scholarships will continue in remembrance of the Reis Family. If you would like more information about the event, please contact Brendan Lougheed, event coordinator at 721-8955 or by e- mail at loughebf@gmail.com.
