Casino Royale Gala hits the jackpot for seniors in need

Guardian Angels event will go toward its benevolence fund

Special to the Star News

The annual Guardian Angels Gala, themed “Casino Royale” for 2024, has once again proven to be a resounding success. On March 9, over 300 attendees were transported into the world of James Bond, with high-stakes games and an atmosphere dripping with sophistication and glamour. The spirit of giving was the highlight of the evening as guests embraced the theme and came together to contribute more than $150,000 to a cause that truly matters.

Funds from the gala will be directed toward the Guardian Angels Benevolence Fund, a vital resource dedicated to assisting seniors in financial distress. Last year alone, Guardian Angels provided more than half a million dollars in charity care for seniors within their communities who had depleted their personal assets and had nowhere to go.

The Benevolence Fund serves as a lifeline for seniors facing unexpected illness, poor health, or financial hardship in their later years. As individuals continue to live longer, the demand for such support only intensifies, making events like the Casino Royale Gala essential for maintaining the well-being and dignity of the elderly population.

Anyone wishing to help support seniors in the community who are experiencing financial crisis can visit the Guardian Angels website at guardianangelsmn.org to make a donation.
