Dena Sicard of Royal LePage Frank Real Estate recently hosted a Casino Night Extravaganza. Her guests were treated to a live band and performance by Samara York, Peruvian style tapas and a silent auction brimming with popular items. At a selection of gaming tables, guests played for bragging rights and tickets for draw prizes awarded over the course of the evening.
“I could not have asked for a more gratifying night,” says Sicard. “My goal for the evening was to raise $5,000 and I am thrilled to have raised a whopping $6,000 with the help of all who sponsored, attended and volunteered.”
Proceeds from the evening will support local shelter The Denise House and YWCA Durham. “This donation will be used at The Denise House to support children affected by domestic violence, by helping fund our specialized programs and one-to-one work to meet each child’s unique needs,” says board director Leigh Winn-Kruck.
YWCA Durham operates Y’s Wish Emergency Shelter and Durham Region’s only Second Stage Housing for women at risk.
