We hosted our most successful annual Aces for Apex Casino Night yet on Saturday, November 14, thanks to all of you! This year, we moved to La.venue in Meatpacking and transformed the space into a luxe underground casino, befitting our Casino Royale theme. Guests helped play the part in their Monte Carlo-esque attire–check out their beautiful threads below. For more photos, please visit our Facebook page.
Through your support, we sold out of 400+ tickets days before and raised more than $55,000 to mentor and teach children in our community. With only 1% of city and foundation funds going to Asian American causes like Apex for Youth, events like Casino Night give us the ability to do our crucial work for the community. We could not do it without you and appreciate your support.
We hope you enjoyed your evening with tasty libations, courtesy of our liquor sponsors Piper Sonoma and Mount Gay, and beer sponsor Tiger Beer. Thank you also to our Exclusive VIP Sponsor Merrill Datasite, Diamond Sponsor Mott Optical Group and Aces Sponsor Sweeten.
Congratulations to Christopher Xiao, the big winner of our High Roller Poker Tournament! We also salute all the other high rollers who played this year.
