The night promises to be filled with fun\, excitement\, and plenty of opportunities to win big while supporting a good cause. \nGuests will be able to try their luck at various casino games\, such as poker\, blackjack\, roulette\, and craps\, while also enjoying a variety of refreshments and entertainment throughout the evening. \nThe Casino Night event will kick off at 7 pm and run until 11 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm). Guests will have the chance to mingle\, network with like-minded individuals\, and participate in silent auctions while contributing to the fundraiser’s success. \n“We are thrilled to host our annual Casino Night event to help raise funds for RCTV’s initiatives\,” said RCTV President Crystal Hodson. “We believe that public access television is an essential tool for promoting community engagement\, and dialogue; unfortunately\, the rise of cord-cutting has had a significant impact on our funding for public access TV channels\, making it difficult for us to provide the same level of quality programming and community engagement\,” Hodson said. \nAll funds raised from the event will go towards supporting RCTVs mission to promote public access television and provide resources to help these channels continue to serve the community. \nTickets for the event are available for purchase on rctv.org or by contacting Angela Merrill at angela@rctv.org. Donations and sponsorships for the event are also welcome and greatly appreciated. \nFor more information on the fundraiser Casino Night or RCTV\, please visit rctv.org or contact RCTV Executive Director Philip Rushworth at phil@rctv.org or 781-944-8888.
