Clearbrook Fall Casino Night set for Palatine

The thrill of Las Vegas may be closer than you think.

Hosted by The Clearbrook Guardians, the annual Fall Casino Night will run from 5 p.m. until midnight Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Clearbrook Getz Building, 746. S. Vermont, in Palatine. Among the largest charitable casino events in the Chicago-area, this event attracts more than 400 gamblers looking to raise money for a worthy cause.

Admission is free and all proceeds from the event will benefit Clearbrook’s programs and services for individuals with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other intellectual/developmental disabilities.

Test Lady Luck at 28 blackjack tables, roulette, high and low stakes poker, craps, and money wheels. In addition to the casino-style games, guests will have the opportunity to win cash and other great prizes in the $1 and split-the-pot raffles. There will be hot food and a cash bar available.

“What could be better than combining an evening of fun and excitement at the casino with the satisfaction of knowing you are raising funds for Clearbrook,” said Cyndy Kay, chair of Casino Night. “We strive to offer an entertaining evening at a value price — free admission. In addition, we look forward to seeing our loyal supporters and to meeting new friends twice a year at the Spring and Fall Casino Nights.”
