Monte Carlo for a Cause: A Charity Casino Night
Join us for Monte Carlo for a Cause, an unforgettable evening where classic casino excitement meets community impact. This signature fundraising event transforms The Garden at Edenton Commons into an elegant Monte Carlo–inspired casino, complete with professional dealers, lively gaming tables, exceptional food, handcrafted cocktails, and an atmosphere of celebration—all in support of local charities.
Doors open at 5:30 PM for a cocktail hour, giving guests time to enjoy refreshments, mingle, explore our featured charities, and settle in before the casino floor opens. Gaming begins promptly at 6:00 PM and continues for three exciting hours of blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker with professional dealers.
Every guest receives gaming chips to enjoy the tables, with additional chips available through charitable donations throughout the evening. Rather than competing for cash prizes, your chips become your vote, allowing you to support one of our featured nonprofit partners.
Throughout the evening, guests will also have opportunities to win exciting raffle prizes generously donated by local businesses and community partners, adding even more excitement to an already memorable night.
At the close of gaming, chips are collected and counted. Each participating charity receives a share of the proceeds, while the organization receiving the most guest support is awarded the evening’s Jackpot Grant.
Monte Carlo for a Cause is more than a fundraiser—it’s an opportunity to gather with friends, enjoy an elegant night out, and make a meaningful difference for organizations that strengthen our community. Whether you’re an experienced card player or simply looking for a unique evening of entertainment, no casino experience is necessary. Our professional dealers are happy to explain the games, making this an event everyone can enjoy.
Featured charity partners include:
* Edenton Steamers through the Edenton-Chowan Community Foundation
* Edenton-Chowan Educational Foundation
* A third local nonprofit partner to be announced
• General Admission – $100
Enjoy music and entertainment, dancing, delicious food, alcohol-free beverages, and first-come seating throughout the evening.
